This is the CLGA reprint of the very controversial 1977 Body Politic article, for which both Hannon and the newspaper were subject to censorship and sanction. It's a very challenging read, but I think the final paragraphs might begin to offer some insight on some of OOB's apparently "extreme" S/M narratives.

I have seen a photograph of Anita [Bryant, anti-gay crusader] and family praying together before they go to bed -- in pyjamas yet. Besides marvelling that anyone would consciously do anything quite so kitsch, I feel a real sense of sadness for those kids, down on their knees and huddled between momma and poppa Bryant. One or more of them could very easily be gay. And he or she would be the truly molested child.

Every homosexual has suffered that molestation. Every homosexual's sexuality has been interfered with -- impeded, strangled, diverted, denounced, "cured," pitied, punished. That is molestation. And it has nothing to do with what Simon, Barry and Peter are doing.
