After the homosexual poster-boy for a sexual re-education group is found murdered, the detectives suspect an outspoken minister who was in the process of flooding the victim with hate mail and death threats.

Officer Marvin Bryson: Must have shown him a real good time before she did the deed.
Det. Elliot Stabler: Marvin, right now's a real good opportunity to learn. An erection is often a side effect of asphyxiation.
Officer Marvin Bryson: (chuckling) Oh yeah? 'Cause I was gonna say the guy was scared stiff. (edit) Elliot Stabler: I don't know, maybe some people choose to be gay and others choose to be straight.
Olivia Benson: Oh, so you chose to be heterosexual?
Elliot Stabler: Me? Noooo. (edit) John Munch: No wonder he tried to hide it. 'You're not gay son, you're just crazy.' (edit) John Munch: If an overbearing mother and a distant father cause homosexuality, how come I'm not gay?
Fin Tutuola: Maybe you're in denial.
John Munch: That'd explain a lot. (edit) Don Cragen: What did you get from the people at Reed's funeral?
Fin Tutuola: Not much. After the fight broke out a bunch of people left before we got their names.
John Munch: Yeah, but we got their pictures. (holding camera)
Don Cragen: Where the hell is that from?
John Munch: One of Reverend Shaw's church members; he must have left it behind.
Casey Novak: I didn't hear that. (edit)
