He attempts to discredit intactivists by branding them homosexuals, hoping his audience is homophobic. This in turn suggests, with all due apologies to homosexuals (primarily because it will insult them to be associated with him) that read this, that he and his buddy in the next school have more than the usual fascination with, or latency for homosexuality themselves.

Well, I just had to have a little giggle over this.
