Do you all actually know people who use the word fruitcake for gay people? Not that everyone I know is totally cool about teh gays, but practically everyone (except my sister's husband and his redneck family down in Virginia) is PC enough not to say something like that. And I figured teenagers were more accepting/tolerant.

I know there's more quotes but I'll just respond directly. I definitely know people who use that word in such a way. Sometimes it just generally means "weirdo" but I was responding as though scrutinizer was meaning gay.

I am very much against insulting language. I don't like other people using it but I don't freak out (although I will correct my friends.) I don't think calling something bad "gay" makes much sense, because I don't have a gay=bad equation in my mind. I would be more likely to think of gay stereotypes.

i thought when the word fruitcake was first used in this thread it was about being loony, i didn't know it meant gay until i saw you all were thinking i was meaning it.  i never really thought of fruitcake as a synonym for gay. i do not have a disliking of gay people.  half the people i know are, and i like them as much as i like everybody else i like.
don't judge all teenagers by other dumbasses my age who use gay and retarded as insults.

its hard to get what one is saying said right via the internet

i'm sorry if i got to angry in that last post, but please don't think i'm like those other teens who don't like gays.

Lauren thinks Beck is a fruitcake.                     

Oh...now I'm wondering how NP meant "fruitcake." I thought she meant Lauren thought he was gay. And I think I thought that because of the number of shocked smileys. I can't imagine anyone being that shocked if someone thought Beck was crazy.  





I want fruitcake now.

take the ball out of the mouse and wipe it well, then inside you will see some black wheels (they should be white) so clean them too, Then Wala! you have a mouse thats like new. I hope that helps.

I think alot people including teens are more accepting now than they were when I was in highschool (mid - the end of the 80's) But I was very fortunate. I came out at 14. I was never, and stll am not a typical gay stereotype. (Masculine Beefcake Manly Man I Am) lol.

All my friends (a close group of about 12 of us) that were close to me stayed close, except one after I came out. 15 years later guess who I ran into at Gay pride? The freind that was uncomfortable when I came out. I think he was not scared at the time, of what people would think, but that his Dad was a huge Homophobe and I think he was scared of his Dad and backed out of our freindship in fear of what his Dad would do knowing he had a gay freind. =(

I think the term "Gay" is used loosely now. not actually always meaning Homosexual. Sorta like how tha N word (I wont say it) is used when 2 buds greet eachother "Hey N", "Whats up N"

I just think the meanings of these words are more open than they used to be.

lol ok enough.

P.S. call me gay, fag whatever, but if you call me fruitcake I will kick yo ass!

Hehe jk

That is some nasty shit.  You should charge extra for having to mix that.

Stereotypes suck.

[Peaches&Cream]

OK, sometimes they're funny.  Like when I walked into Borders and saw the soundtrack for Hairspray, a CD by Cher, a CD by Madonna and Hedwig all on the same shelf.
