Hear hear!

In fact, I'd like to take it a step further. Let's get out of our own electrical closets and assume The Man is always listening. Assume your freedom means everyone is listening because you're broadcasting.

There is a huge lesson from the history of the gay community in the US. Back during World War II and for decades after, sailors in the Pacific would get dishonorably discharged for being found as homosexuals. They'd be dropped off in San Francisco for discharge. This fact would be stamped on their papers: no escape. Every potential employer knows, your family knows... so there is no point in going home.

Suddenly you're stuck in a major city with all the other dishonorably discharged and smokin' hot dudes. Might as well start a bar!

The point is that they couldn't choose to come out of the closet: they were thrown out. Thus when the crackdowns and the homophobic violence got bad enough, the gay community unified.

Everyone in America, possibly the world, has been thrown out of the electrical closet. Our online words are public. Suck it up, know it all the time. White male privilege can't save you this time.
