The only way the Democrats can be non-partisan about marriage equality is if the Republicans agree to do so as well and they will never do that. Michael, if the Democrats don’t put marriage equality in their platform then they simply get out of the way to allow Republicans to increasingly add laws to cement marriage discrimination in society.
