Anecdote: Friend manages a call center in California. Couple of years ago Texas using a bunch of sleazy tax incentives tried to get the center moved from California to Texas. Friend said none of the gay boys wanted to move. And parents were horrified by the idea sending their kids to public school in Texas. Move never happened as a result.

Data [1] vs. anecdote: Austin is one of top same sex metros in the United States and San Antonio is one of the top places for same sex couples to raise children (in Texas public schools).

And before Austin, it used to be Montrose (in Houston, TX).
