I believe the Constitution settled that question: White male property owners. I'm sure they would have included "heterosexual" if there had been such a thing as being openly gay at the time, but today we would need to state that explicitly.
Kidding aside, I've been watching this debate with a lot of ambivalence because there seems to be no clear answer to any of these questions. I'm a pro-cooperation kind of guy and favor incorporation in most cases, but that's likely an uninformed knee-jerk reaction. But it does seem incredibly inefficient and inherently unfair for cities to be the geographic equivalent of a pair of torn, holey jeans. Austin's boundaries make the coast of Maine look like it was drawn with a ruler. Something about this just strikes me as being wrong.
