Five passengers set sail that day, for a three-hour tour

My father and I used to watch Gilligan's Island together, back in the day. Just for the record, we also used to watch properly family-centric shows like, um...Combat! The Outer Limits! Ed Sullivan, The Man from U.N.C.L.E, Patti Duke, The Wild, Wild West, and The Donna Reed Show. Big Donna Reed fan, my dad. Though I will say, just in passing, that even I noticed her husband was a bit dim, and I was only eight.
Anyhow, who knew that, as we indulged in father-daughter bonding in front of the tube, we were ingesting The Homosexual Agenda that has become so dangerous in our present fraught times?
My thanks to Robin Wayne Bailey for pointing this article out.

Edited to add: Ahem, evidently I was wrong about the nature of the site. But there are still far, FAR too many people in Alabama who really do think that way.

Better tell Winston Churchill, who, according to http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2010/08/rum-sodomy-and-lash-winston-churchills.html didn't really say it but wished he had.

His obsession with finding gay elements and connections makes me think he's deep in a closet and floating down de Nile. 'Sorta like when I was pregnant and everywhere I looked, I saw pregnant women or newborn babies - but I never saw them when I wasn't.
