Just an opinion here:
I think we are using the words gay and man in a very peer-pressure manner here, as in real life.
People who ignore the "manly" rule of drinking dark brown strong drinks are thought os as weak and wimpy.
If you have a fruit flavored drink, a minty drink or a nicely colored drink you are thought of as weak and wimpy, and lacking in character.
If you only drink drinks from a select macho list, then you are thought of as being strong and manly.
But actually the opposite is true.
The weak and wimpy man is sthe one who refuses to taste these gay drinks because he's afraid of peer pressure.
The strong charactered person tries the fruity, minty, colored drinks and decides himself if he likes it.
When I see a "guy" "enjoying" his dark brown drink (and maybe like Mr. Furley he says COOL! SMOOTH! and screws up his face), I see someone who has sold out and consumes to prove a point. He is the character-less wimp.
When I see a "man" really enjoying some pretty, nicely flavored drink I see a man who says "I like this, do you have a problem with that bitch?"
Which "man" has the most strength of character?
Yes we are talking about character here.
OOPs -back to the list of gay and non-gay foods.
mmm a huge steak, now that's manly - but not those pretty little mushrooms.
Salad with cute fancy-cut veggies sitting on a smear of vinaigrette - GAY GAY GAY
just an opinion, think about it.
