6. Its DOMA again. But if the Dems vote for it they just lose some gay votes.

So, from a strict political calculation, its a no-brainer for the Dems, as the gay vote is not that big, and not all gays & lesbians will bolt because of it....they have no place to go, really, except to the third party wilderness.

I think the best way to neutralize this for the Dems to vote for it, then it becomes a non-issue.
