What kind of awareness did this story raise ?

Queer people are typically not present in traditional histories. This raises the awareness that queer people existed then too, albeit in different circumstances.

Isn't the consequence of that line of thinking that anything that doesn't raise awareness is problematic, as it takes up attention/spots on the front page etc? Ergo: we should have nothing but LGBT topics so everybody is aware all the time.

This statement:

> If doing your part to support these people just includes not saying anything while awareness is raised, I would recommend doing that.

Does not imply what you asserted, which is:

> Isn't the consequence of that line of thinking that anything that doesn't raise awareness is problematic, as it takes up attention/spots on the front page etc? Ergo: we should have nothing but LGBT topics so everybody is aware all the time.

There seem to be several logical steps in-between the two assertions that you've assumed would happen and didn't lay out here.
