Generally, most Democratic party members who are married are in traditional marriages and are supportive of traditional marriage. But Democrats realize that families come in many forms and do not limit the idea of marriage to traditional sexual boundaries.

Because certain governmental and societal benefits accrue to the historical "traditional marriage" Democrats are not people who object to other forms of marriage that are sought by large numbers of nontraditional supporters. As a result of this expanded vision Democrats are generally in support of gay marriage rights.

If you mean Democratic as in, pertaining to the Democratic party, then the Democratic party has argued that gays should be able to serve in the military. If you mean democratic as in, what the population would vote for in a referrendum, then it depends entirely on the population in question. I think that such a referrendum in the USA today would be very tight between supporters and opponents.
