Oblivious hypocrisy and collusive reticence

Odd words for the title, perhaps, but they are the terms for what I see happening a lot.

Hypocrisy because the words were sparked by a turn of phrase in a recent response by the Task Force to someone, as described in an article at PHB — part of the Job of the Task Force is to reduce the stigma, to make lives easier for LGBT folks.

Oblivious because the response they give was, truly, written without much awareness that what they said was indeed such.

Collusive because when you further the stigma, when you cooperate with them, when you do the thtings they want you to do, you are engaging in collusion, giving aid and support to those who oppose your very existence.
