Most Democrats believe in gay rights and believe in protecting gays against discrimination, most are firmly against the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy (which ironically was signed by a Democrat). But Democrats are split in their beliefs on gay marriage. Although most Democrats don't want there to be an amendment that defines marriage as between a man and woman, some of those same Democrats don't want gay marriage made legal mostly due to religious reasons. Practically all Demcrats support civil unions for gays.

∙ 10y agoThe majority of Democrats are in favor of equal rights for gay people. But as with any party, not everyone agrees 100%. For example, there are some conservative Democrats who were elected from red states (states that generally vote Republican), and they do not support same-sex marriage-- although in fairness, most have not expressed negative views about gay people. But it would be accurate to say that the Democrats have been more in favor of equal rights for gay people than the Republicans have.

Not really. There is a group called the Stonewall Democrats, but it's function is quite different than Log Cabin Republicans, since the vast majority of the Democratic Party accepts gay people and gay rights. So there is no need need for a "log cabin" type of group.Not really.
