[quote=briansd1][quote=Shadowfax] In CA especially, there is a unique set of factors that made the state what it is today, and the homosexual population of SF in particular makes for interesting course material.

And if you care about real estate you will want to learn about how gays have contributed to real estate values. San Francisco, West Hollywood, Hillcrest… gays have turned bad neighborhoods into sought after gentrified enclaves.
Gays were very good at identifying value in under rated urban neighborhoods, close to everything. If you had bought a house in Hillcrest back in the early 1980s, you would be worth much more today than you had bought a similarly priced house in Temecula.[/quote]
brian, I hadn’t thought of this (indirect) “contribution” but it’s so true!
