βCave Johnson here. Iβve received complaints from anonymous employees that our support of the βhomosexual lifestyleβ is βdegenerateβ and βirresponsibleβ. It really got me thinking and I think I found a solution. So good news! We now have 23 vacated positions reserved for members of the LGBT community. Additional good news, we began a new testing initiative on evolutionary degenration with 23 test subjects all ready to go.β
βCave Johnson here. If youβre experiencing a time loop in which youβre repeating the month of June over and over, thatβs totally intentional. We at Aperture Science felt that pride month was not long enough and so we created this loop to let employees experience as much pride as they feel like. To get out of this loop, simply use the pod labeled βTime Machineβ in Shaft 6 and then either kill or save the baby on the other end depending on when in the loop youβre on. Donβt worry about the babyβs identity, he grows up to be an asshole.β
βCave Johnson here, happy to announce that our Rainbow Gel project was a massive success. We have developed distinct gels in every color of the rainbow pride flag. In fact, it was too much of a success, so weβll be updating our pride flag accordingly to include 75 new colors corresponding to all of our new gels. Word of advice, though, donβt stare at the flag for too long, most of these colors havenβt been tested on human eyes yet.β
βCave Johnson here, Cave Johnson queer. Get used to it.β
βCave Johnson here. Caroline just informed me that I am herΒ βbeardβ. I checked, and I fail to see how I could possibly have grown out of her face. If anybody knows anything about human-to-facial hair transmogrification, please report to my office.β
βCave Johnson here. Friendly reminder that Aperture employees living prior to the legalization of gay marriage are invited to use our Aperture Science Temporal Matrimony Pod in order to travel to the future with your same-sex partner and get married there. Employees from the future who wish to return to a time before gay people being able to marry are also welcome to use the pod and weβll make sure to send you to an era well before gay marriage. Iβm thinking maybe Late Cretacesous.β
βCave Johnson here. Iβm proud to announce that our plan to hire only female test subjects to prevent them from flirting with our female scientists has been a resounding failure.β
βCave Johnson here. Iβm afraid weβll have to temporarily pause all experimentation with the Gender Affirmation Beam. The testing itself is going great, the beam is working. But weβre starting to run out of thigh high socks and khaki shorts.β
βCave Johson here. Shafts 10 through 14 are currently under lockdown due to a meltdown in the Neopronoun Syntheizer. The transphobes up in DC might call that βa disaster in the makingβ but I call it a win for diversity! That being said most of these pronouns are radioactive so do watch out.β
Cave Johnson here. If you feel a sudden sense of elation and contentness when putting on your new Aperture Science unisex uniform, that is not Gender Euphoria! Thatβs a hallucinogenic fungus taking over your brain. Take the uniform off immediately and throw it in the nearest incinerator.β
βCave Johnson here. I wonβt tolerate any misgendering of the interdimensional invaders swarming the facility! Their pronouns are they/them and weβre ought to respect that. Weβre also ought to shoot them on sight since theyβre extremely hostile and bent on enslaving our planet.β
βCave Johnson here. To all of my suitors and secret admirers: Thank you, honestly Iβm flattered. Unfortunately for you, I donβt swing that way. Or any way. I only swing where the wrecking ball of science takes me. Usually into a brick wall.β
βCave Johnson here. Iβve been thinking. We have gay pride, and we have gender envy. What other deadly sins can we incorporate? Maybe bisexual sloth? Lesbian wrath? Iβll talk to the lab boys about it.β
βCave Johnson here. Update: The Lesbian Wrath project is postponed indefinitely. My condolences to the families of the deceased. Though letβs be honest, they probably had it coming.β
βCave Johnson here. For the last time! βIβm reclaiming the slurβ is not a valid excuse to shout out loud the killer androidsβ activation codes! We picked that word for a reason.β
βCave Johnson here. Iβd like to apologize to Floor 194 Safety Supervisor Doug Blakely for firing him after allegations that he was forcing employees back in the closet. I was not aware that said closet was a literal storage closet for zombified Aperture employees. To make it up to Doug, heβll be allowed to feed Floor 194 HR Manager Lisa Briant to the closet zombies if he so chooses.β
βCave Johnson here. A reminder that next year Transgender Day of Visibility falls on Extradimensional Day of Visibility. The lab boys are cautioning me to caution you to be prepared. Do not confuse transgender and transdimensional! Big mistake.β
βCave Johnson here. To all cishet Aperture employees who volunteered for the βGet More Wokeβ program, please report to your departmentβs OR at the nearest convenience to get the alarm clocks surgically removed from your spinal cord. Aperture Science apologizes for the misunderstanding.β
βCave Johnson here. Dr. Barnaby from Cyborg Engineering is an attack helicopter. Thatβs not a transphobic joke, by the way, they literally transformed themselves into an amalgam of human and helicopter. Impressive. Unauthorized, of course, but still impressive. Anyway, we lost track of them, so everyone watch the sky for a mad scientist with blue rotors and machine guns.β
βCave Johnson here. To the joker who added βmake the sun gayβ to our quarterly agenda, I hope youβre pleased with yourself. The Astrophysics Department is tearing itself apart with half of them shouting that you canβt make the sun gay and the other half screaming that the sun is already gay. Either way, weβre not doing it.β
βCave Johnson here. The congressional delegation of Senator Patrick Johnson (no relation) to inspect our facilities had to be cut short due to a mishap with the Gender Affirmation Beam. Iβd like to apologize on behalf of Aperture Science to Senator Johnson and her staff.β
βCave Johnson here. Just the other day, our sign guy asked me βCave, donβt you think LGBTQIA2S+ is a tad too long?β and I told him βFirst of all, thatβs Mr. Johnson to you! And secondly, I actually think itβs not long enough!β and thatβs why Iβm adding an β&β to the acronym. Donβt know what it stands for yet, but Iβll figure it out.β
βCave Johnson here. You already know that here in Aperture Science weβre all about gender affirming care. Weβve been at the forefront of hormone replacement therapy since before we knew what these hormones do. You also know that here in Aperture Science weβre all about not getting sued. So everyone be quiet about our role in the Estrogen Cola disaster.β
