Neither seen nor heard

Dan Savage said not long ago that he'd be happy to stop talking about being gay, once it stops being an issue to other people.

• Item: the Prime Minister of Great Britain thinks that gay kisses should be banned on TV before 9pm, in case, you know, someone young and impressionable sees them.
• Item: In Tennessee, there are efforts to pass a law that would forbid mentioning gay people in school before the 9th grade. So if you are a gay student, or the child of gay parents, you can't mention it. Otherwise, of course, you might recruit young and impressionable children to the Fabulous Side.

Because if they can hide us, then maybe we don't exist.
