A four-character scene in a doctor's office. A doctor with a head mirror holds up a syringe and tells a blonde woman, "Your son is now immunized against gay." A small red-haired boy in a blue shirt stands between them looking unhappy. The woman replies, "Thank you so much, doctor. By the way, who's that man we always see you with?" — gesturing to a reddish-haired man with his arm around her. The doctor answers simply, "Brother." implying the man is actually his secret partner, not a relative. Below the comic is a line graph labeled TIME on the x-axis with three trend lines: an orange line (average wealth of anti-gay groups) declining, a purple line (average wealth of pro-gay groups) rising, and a yellow-green line (average cost of saline solution) rising sharply — the joke being that the 'gay vaccine' is just saline placebo and the anti-gay business is collapsing. Votey: a caption reads "SURPRISE BONUS: COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET GETS EASIER," and the doctor's reddish-haired partner says, "It's your fault. You should've vaccinated me."
