Holland's anti-gay vote could hurt efforts to attract and retain talent

Only cetain types of "talent".

Even though homosexuals are only a small percentage of the population, many are in positions where they can, and do, use their power or influence to promote the homosexual agenda.

Such as government and education.

And of course, the media.

You are entirely correct.

That's something we conservatives need to consider as well. The liberals fight their wars to redefine our culture through control of culture-defining entities such as entertainment, education, and the media. Ronald Reagan saw much of this coming and that's why he became president of the Screen Actors Guild in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to keep communist influences out of the movies.

These wars began long, long ago — at least the 1920s and arguably even earlier dating back to the late 1800s — and by the late 1970s, the liberals had taken control of virtually all the major entities of our culture and intimidated most conservatives into silence, forced them into fighting fruitless rear-guard battles, or marginalized them into irrelevance. Pretty much the only thing that stopped them was that socialist economic policies never have worked, and major economic downturns caused what was left of our basically conservative middle class to reject liberalism as a demonstrated financial failure.

Those of us who are conservatives need to think very hard about how liberals, despite being a small minority, managed to win so many battles. Much of it has to do with training people to be in professions which exercise great influence on our culture. Not everybody is qualified or even interested in being in those fields, but just about the worst thing we can do to a young conservative man or woman is to deter them from trying to enter those professions. It's a very difficult fight, but some people are really good at fighting it and need to be encouraged to do so.
