[reformedliberal] We have noticed, over the past decade, that when lesbians enter an institution, like the public schools or the County Board, they make a concerted effort to bring in other lesbians over time, until they have a majority.

You're probably right. Check this out, from seven years ago:

Homosexual Foster Parent Sets Off a Debate in Texas
By SAM HOWE VERHOVEK (NYT) 1157 words
Late Edition - Final , Section 1 , Page 20 , Column 5
ABSTRACT - Rebecca Bledsoe, Texas child welfare supervisor, sparks controversy by ordering emergency removal of baby boy from foster parents who are lesbians; bases decision on rarely-enforced 118-year-old statute that makes homosexual activity crime, arguing that those who engage in them should not be considered fit serve as foster or adoptive parents; says foster children placed with gay or lesbian couples do not have parental role model of one sex or another; has been rebuked by state's Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, which quickly overruled her decision to take boy away from Dallas-area woman and demoted her; has become heroine to many conservatives, but target of withering criticism from gay rights advocates; has filed labor grievance; she comments; photo (M)

Since then, it has turned out that:

a. The current governor of Texas, then lieutenant-governor Rick Perry, has been accused of having gay affairs while governor. The notoriously liberal/pro-gay Austin American-Statesman supposedly has the story but spiked it after negotiations with Perry's office (so: what did he tell them? that he was going to sue?), and Democrats rallying in Houston taunted Perry with cries of "Come on out, Rick -- We'll support you!!"

b. Then-governor George W. Bush, in 2000, made a major overture to the Log Cabin Republicans (behind the backs of social-conservative Republicans, whom he kept at arm's length), which he converted into a continuing, structured relationship through the intermediation of point woman Mary Matalin, who was on Bush's campaign staff in 2000 and now works for Dick Cheney:

Matalin added that she favors gay marriage "because it's logical."
"You want to reduce promiscuity, you want to enhance stability -- duh, marriage, OK?" she said.

Wait, I just realized it's from 7 years ago. (I'm suffering from sleep deprivation, sorry!) It's still good background info.
