As soon as I run a minority voices course and there is not murder in the news of a black kid or a gay man or acid to the face of some woman, then fine, we can get rid of it in favor of "Post-Modernism and Gothic" or whatever.  I am not holding my breath, obviously.  Last  week, my students  told me homophobia was all relevant "then", back before we all accepted each other as is, before you could 'get gay married'.  Uh huh.

Update: Seriously, how can he give a whole speech about it, say 'isil' a buttgillion times, and 'gay' never?! Like, if the victims had been black, we'd be mentioning that shit.  Earlier on the news, they showcased one of the victims who was there learning to dance WITH THIS GIRLFRIEND, like we found the one straight guy so you might care. Unreal. Truly.
