re: The implications of the forced gay marriage legislation

think winning the hearts and minds on the issue of gay marriage may prove even more difficult for homosexuals in certain parts of the country than even the civil rights movement.

I totally agree with this. One big reason is white flight. In many places, whites simply took their kids out of public schools once blacks were allowed in. With gay marriage you can't "white flight", there is nowhere to run to, which means there is no way to circumvent the law.

And I am by no means saying that everyone going to a private school did so to escape blacks. I went to a private school myself mainly because the public schools in my area were not very good, had nothing to do with racial issues.
