Neither does it obligate him. Parents need to start taking paying attention to
what their kids are viewing online, and every attempt to make the internet
kid-safe only reinforces their false beliefs that there is nothing that their
kids can access that is not appropriate for them.

Exactly. Which is why we all need to take the responsibility on ourselves

The TOS are as restrictive as they probably should be, and they do not prohibit
LGBTs from announcing their lifestyle anymore than they prevent all of us
heteros from announcing ours. Everything you keep saying suggests that you
think a guy saying he has a boyfriend equates with vivid descriptions of bedroom
activities, while a guy saying he has a girlfriend can be given the assumption
of chastity. It’s simply not true. That’s not the world we live in. TV
characters on the more conservative broadcast networks are quite often shown in
scenes that imply graphic situations are going on off-camera. People on LUGNET
mention their kids all the time (and, when you really think about it, that’s
about the clearest indication you can give that you’ve “got some” at some point
without blatantly stating it).
