So I have internet access for like ten minutes, which means I can't get even close to catching up on everything, but I just wanted to say that they're talking about this now to kids even N's age, and he's only ten. I brought it up the other day, because *I* wanted to talk about it with him, and he said, "Oh yeah. We were talking about this in school yesterday."
I also freak out on my students whenever they say anything related to "That's so gay." I know it's a small thing, but as you said, language matters.
It makes me really proud that N already routinely freaks out about the idiocy of DADT. Sigh. It's just all so effing sad.
