One involves the question of when life begins and possible murder and the other involves letting gays get the same benefits of marriage that heterosexuals do. Strikes me as easy to differentiate.

The fact of the matter is that the gaystapo comprises an extremely small fraction of the population, around 4%. This vs a much, much larger percentage of conservative Christians

Not voting Dem anyway

Not voting GOP anyway.

Opinion Poll on Gay Marriage over time from Gallop

The trend suggests it's a winning issue for the DNC. Furthermore, SSM has support from those 18-50 years old. It's the 51-super old that are still majority opposed. Even in the old category, you can see an increase of support toward SSM of about 25% over the past 18 years.

The argument that the DNC is doing more damage to themselves by pushing SSM is much stronger. The DNC is bleeding white blue collar support like a head wound. And their solution is to push an agenda from 4% of the voting population that goes against the values of that same voting block they are trying to get back?

It's an issue the majority of Americans agree with them on and the trend is also going toward more support of SSM. You argue this is damaging because it's causing the Dems to lose blue collar white folks? They've been losing them as organized labor has lost favor. You got something to support the notion they are going to the GOP because of SSM?
