i don't know for sure. i'm just deducing.

but, this is a conflict point that's been building in the democratic party for quite a while now. and, we're going to have to have this fight, because for every religious or ethnic voter that won't vote for the gays, there's a secular atheist that won't support the religious or ethnic agendas.

we're seeing the same conflicts play out in canada. it's schismatic, but it has to run it's course.

i would call on the party to release the results and let the people decide.
