I believe that they won this through confusion, misdirection and occasionally, outright fraud. And still only by the barest of margins.

I agree with you that they've only managed to slow the process down temporarily, but they haven't stopped it. No one's going back in the closet. Gays and Lesbians aren't going to go away no matter how hard the Religious Wrong fights so they'd just better get used to the idea that the children are going to learn about them, just like they learn about people of different colors and races. That excuse won't fly.
