Driving a wedge between gays and blacks

Andrew Sullivan points to a report highlighting a strategy opponents to gay marriage initiatives are developing. These can have ramifications beyond this one issue. The two groups tend to be part of the Democratic coalition. Animosity between the two could cause one to bolt the party. While they may not necessary vote Republican, weakened allegiance to the Democrats would advantage Republicans.

The report also points out ways to drive a wedge between Latinos and the Democratic Party. Other posts will focus on Republican efforts to appeal to this group - and the various difficulties it has in doing so.
