I was deeply touched by the post by Yoshida, the scriptwriter of 'Wings of a Tiger.' 'Homosexuality is not a setting or anything,' may be a little off topic, but the same can be said for people with disabilities. In dramas, they rarely appear in the background as passersby, and when they do appear, it is often given some kind of meaning. However, when my family member became disabled, I 'noticed' for the first time that physically disabled people were everywhere in the city. I was shocked at how 'invisible' I was to them, even though they must have been there before. If I hadn't become a member of the family, they might have remained invisible. But once you 'noticed' it, it becomes more and more visible...
