I suspect that, in general, homosexuals had better prepare themselves for some retrenchment. Their opposition is solidly "multicultural" in flavor, but all of their tactics are essentially of the same sort used against Southerners, viz, to call them "bigots". This will not work against blacks and hispanics, the two groups that will be increasingly important in the future.

Word to the wise: The purpose of the "civil rights" movement is to weaken national unity and destroy traditional culture. That has been its purpose since day one, and the actual rights of man per se do not enter into strategic consideration. When the ruling class has to decide between alienating gays, alienating blacks, and alienating hispanics, it will do the first. When this becomes actual policy is difficult to say, since it isn't a straightforward headcount issue.

How did you come to these conclusions?
