i don't think homophobia will go away and discrimination may rise again that we will never have the broad consensus that there are very few people and we can just keep them completely invisible through oppression and criminalization. we will never not have that language for the environment and the knowledge all things are connected and it's an opportunistic community with very little. but for me it is about the same ias not that everything is going to be fine which is optimism just like pessimism that everything is going to be horrible and there's nothing you can do about it which also increases. it is the same we don't know what will happen and it is the acceptance of the true uncertainty you can understand when you see the sudden emergence of things like standing rock and occupy black lives matter to bring up some of the extraordinary things just in this decade. so we may be able to play a role and it's worth trying and that is kind of my definition of hope and silence which is not necessarily the dictionary definition but the possibility and acceptance that's interesting because we are
