These people could see allegories in the nutritional information on a box of corn flakes.

These people could see allegories in the nutritional information on a box of corn flakes. Well, it does have the word 'flakes', and corn is phallic looking...yeah, I can see it, wonder who will be on the box cover next month (Harry potter???)

Yeah, right. Now, about that Dr. Seuss stuff - anybody ever notice that Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose is queer as a football bat?
To: Billthedrill
Thidwick may be queer, but Horton the Elephant is clearly a radical prolifer!

According to controversial gay US commentator Michael Bronski, the plot of JK Rowling's books follows an identical path to that of the traditional coming-out story. ...Oh for pete's sake. I stopped here. For these people EVERYTHING is about being gay.

'The Christian right just might be, at least partly, right,' said Bronski. 'The Harry Potter books are a threat to accepted ideas about the social welfare and mental health of children. Not because they romanticise witchcraft and wizardry, but because they are deeply subversive in their unremitting attacks on the received wisdom that being 'normal' is good, reasonable or even healthy. Wow, how many crazy people does it take to write a book review? Answer - one, this guy.

Oh for pete's sake. I stopped here. For these people EVERYTHING is about being gay. Yep. Including your post, you stopped opening the closet door when you stopped reading, putting yourself back into a repressive state within the closet of your mind....see, I can be a reviewer too. Wonder how much they make?

Wait until they read the secret chapter where Harry uses an ancient spell to turn a homosexual into a turd!

When did the shift from Muggles being a race allegory to a gay one?

One of the professors at Harvard always insisted that Huck Finn was gay. And of course Ishmael and Queequeg in Moby Dick.
I don't think so.
If you are a pretzel, the whole world looks like pretzels.

"Tony the Tiger .."
Yes, and didn't he alone, or with Exxon, have the slogan:
"Put at Tiger in your tank"?
Perhaps we should have asked:
"Is your tank in the front or the back"?
To: Enterprise
Wait until they read the secret chapter where Harry uses an ancient spell to turn a homosexual into a turd! Hahahaha! Dammit I just spit my grape koolaid all over the keyboard!!

Seems that a pervert can interpret everything in terms of his perversion.
To: chance33_98
People read exactly what they want to read into these books.
That aside. It seems every other thread these days is a gay thread. I'm thinking we need a new chat room for the subject.
