Got this from Kevin, welcome to the world of double standards. Quoting OutSmart:

A governor criminalizes gay sex, yet gay leaders say nothing. An elected official backs antigay marriage legislation, yet a gay group says he’s blameless. Another governor vetoes legislation giving gay employees the right to take time off from work to care for a sick lover, yet the state’s gay lobbying organization yawns.

Welcome, my friends, to the world of the Democratic double standard.

Under it, a Republican who even hints at doing something that might adversely affect a gay person somewhere is instantly denounced as a homophobic hate-monger. When a Democrat does much the same thing? Well, nobody’s perfect.

Consider former Texas Governor Ann Richards. To the gay political establishment in Texas, the colorful Democrat is a saint. Yet despite Richards’ ability to wow gay audiences at black-tie dinners with her winning smile and folksy accent, her legislative legacy is darkly antigay. It’s her signature you’ll find on the state’s antigay sodomy law, after all, one of only a handful in the entire country that specifically targets gay sex. Two men in Houston were recently prosecuted for violating Richards’ law in a private home. (Note: a state appeals court has held the law unconstitutional.)

If George W. Bush had signed such a hideous law, gay activists would have blockaded every road between the Alamo and the Astrodome in protest. Yet the excuse factory rolls into production for Richards. Despite the fact that she did nothing to lobby the Legislature to defeat it, gay advocates explain she was forced to sign the law because it was part of a larger overhaul of the criminal code. Despite the fact that Democrats controlled both houses of the Texas Legislature at the time, they complain it was really the Republicans’ fault.

There are many more examples (read the whole thing), point being Republicans get blamed irregardless, Democrats get a free pass. Why? Guess if one wants to oppose gay marriage, they should be a Democrat. Double standard if you ask me. And check out Kevin’s take. He has some other really good quotes. Insults Unpunished has lots more goodies plus a veritable linkfest worth reading.
