...only life here were that interesting. In general, posters are all too bland and predictable: the sexual innuendo for the Shakespeare play, the neurotic question for Room 13, the "Free Beer" eye-catcher for the fledgling organization...
...your fears that you don't know any gay people "like you," or that your hopes for a decent career will be ruined, they are nonsense. You, like everyone else, has been fed a steady diet of assertions and innuendo that homosexuals are perverted, disgusting, unlovable and, well, "queer."

The FCC also warned that any such future violations could lead to a loss...
...they found a most attentive listener in the President. One of the Congressmen claimed the Moscow and antiwar issues could "kill Clinton." The very next day Bush was on the King show demanding that his opponent come clean about his trip to the U.S.S.R. In a phrase heavy with innuendo, the President added, "I don't want to tell you what I really think, because I don't have the facts . . . but to go to Moscow one year after Russia crushed Czechoslovakia, not remember who you saw . . . I really think the answer is, level with the American people...
