The Chilean magazine, Opus Gay, has ventured far south, reporting on a recent lesbian march for equal rights in Concepcion, and on to the Straits of Magellan to report on the gay discothèque scene in Punta Arenas.

—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“As long as fathers rule but do not nurture, as long as mothers nurture but do not rule, the conditions favoring the development of father-daughter incest will prevail.”
