I guess it's a question of where your "line" is drawn - as noted in oyceter's post in yesterday's metafandom.
My own nature isn't to sit back if I can do something. One reason I'm still writing Teyla and John/Teyla fic in spite of the continuing unpopularity of character and pairing is because no-one else does - and I can do something about that.
So my 'line' is drawn where I can at least voice something on a personal scale. I'm not sure I can do anything on a town, city, country, global scale, but if this makes a few people stop and reconsider their attitudes, maybe the embarrassment, humiliation, and mockage that comes of speaking out will be worth it.
