From their advice on Protecting your child from sexual abuse:
Don’t leave your children of either sex in the care of teenage boys. Furthermore, don’t allow your teenage boy to baby-sit.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This:
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi reports, “In one study of 60 effeminate boys ages 4 to 11, 98 percent of them engaged in cross-dressing, and 83 percent said they wished they had been born a girl.”
cracks me up. I'm sure it was a very scientific study.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, to go along with the current discussion, and as a companion to the gay penguins, did everyone hear that the Public Garden in Boston has a couple of lesbian swans?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I'd known, I would have made sure mine was clean.

There was some rightwing Christian guy who said there are no such things as gay penguins - that it's all part of the liberal homosexual conspiracy or somesuch.
Apparently, actually going to the zoo and looking at gay penguins would contradict his faith-based view of flighless waterfowl.

At least they aren't asking you to turn swans upside down....
