Thinking about Zach reminded me of the parody site Baptists Are Saving Homosexuals.
http://www.bettybowers.com/bashkids.html
I now find it rather scary how close the list of actual camp rules Zach posted are to the intended-to-be-way-over-the-top parody BASH kids stuff. Suddenly, it's less funny than it used to be.

OMG, that is so weird!!!!
It looks like something that would be on Brass Eye (Brits would know what that is)and other satirical shows. It seems too intelligent to be taken seriously, and yet, strangely enough it still scares me.....this mite seem incredibly naive, but did they purposefully create that acronym to intimidate us gay folk??
On reflection of them using the GAP motif, i remember something from when i was 15 or so??? some loud mouth student was chatting shit, like he knew everything, and he tells everyone to stop wearing gap coz it stands for "Gay And Proud"!!!!
...eight priests!!! It looked impressive!

It might have been a bit clearer if I'd managed to post the link I actually intended to - to the section intro page, rather than just to one of the pages!

But actually, the whole bettybowers site is a sustained lampoon of the bigoted "Southern Baptist" (yes - I know they're not ALL like that) approach.
