Western Pennsylvania is Democratic, but Conservative Democratic. These are people who are Democratic for ECONOMIC REASONS (PRO-UNION, PRO-New DEAL, PRO SOCIAL SECURITY) NOT Social Reasons (THEY ALSO OPPOSE ABORTION and Gay Marriage).
The "March For Marriage" is part of the GOP strategy to divide these Democrats from Kerry and thus gaining their votes for Bush. By protesting them you are saying to these Conservative Democrats that the GOP is telling the Truth when it comes to Gay Marriage, something most of them oppose.
Thus if you want to play into the GOP's hands go ahead, I am not stopping you for I oppose Gay Marriage. I also know that by you showing up opposing the "March for Marriage" will only strengthen the movement against Gay marriage (Through at the same time strengthen the GOP which is why my first choice would be for you to avoid adding attention to the march).
Politics is the art of trying to get 50% of the Voters to Vote for you, do NOT give people a reason to Vote for the other fellow. No Democrat will offer a law banning gay marriage (They may vote for such a law, but if the Democrats control the Congress such a law will NEVER see the light of Day). The Democrats want to address the Economic Issues of today like in 1992 "Its the ECONOMY" should be out motto and ANYTHING that varies from that Motto has to go to the wayside.
