The Democrats are a loose coalition of different interest groups (labor, teachers, feminists, abortionists, homosexuals, minorities, socialists, environmentalists, etc).

Labor has always been the most "conservative" part of the democrats (pro-gun, pro-military, pro-religion). The homosexual agenda is incompatible with labor.

Minorities have also been moving away from the democrats. Many of the blacks that I know I truly insulted that homosexuals compare their issue with gay marriages to Civil Rights issues - and will outright reject the homosexual agenda.

Lines are being drawn, even on the left.

The D party has been in transition from a coherent political philosophy to a collection of special interests since WWII. The question is, will it hold together, and if so, for how long?

Unions having to pick up the dramatically increased medical costs associated with homosexuality. Religious african-Americans wanting the vouchers the education establishment vehemently opposes. Etc. etc. &c. Can the D's survive their internal contradictions?
