We don't anyway. Running to their rescue only puts us in the same boat. Take a cue from the Gay Crusade if you like-- The in-your-face Gays back then just made people more homophobic (I know; one of them was a relative). But the gays with jobs, houses, cars, lawnmowers, you know, just basic stable people that happened to be gay, that never brought it up in public (OK, just how often do you see some straight guy blowing off about his orientation in the checkout line at the DMV? So why should they? Or we?), made more inroads on people's prejudice that all the public spectacle did. It's already out there. Any more messaging isn't going to put it out there more. If someday the world moderates a bit, and there aren't any more "animal sex farms" or "goat raped to death" spectacles, and people just live with their animals and keep their heads down, maybe it mellows out a bit. But being more public isn't going to make it better. Not now.
