It's starting to look as though we'll soon not have a choice anymore about how public and official we want to be. Maybe this one is a drive-by-shooting and fandom is getting hit by the stray bullets (looks like it, from what I've seen), but who knows when someone gets it into their mind to go after the evil people who promote gay romance? The RPG scene really sounds like something fandom may do well to look into in terms of how to protect ourselves.
