- "3. The term "zoosexuality", understood as sexual orientation towards animals, has been in use since the 1980s; it was popularized by Miletski's research in the 1990s."
- "ZSB posters effectively suggest that zoosexuals are misunderstood outcasts who are demonized as deviant because most people lack the mental capacity to understand human-animal sexuality. This point is further crystallized when posters neutralize the deviance of zoosexuality by comparison to other alternative sexualities that have attained some measure of social acceptability."
