I heard that there was a study about how many people who call many things “gay”, are gay themselves. ---

I eat pizza with a knife and fork, at least until the remainder is small enough to pick up without getting a lapful of hot mozzarella. And I’ve sucked like, few to no cocks. Let’s just say zero. “Vegan pizza,” however, is gayer than a Rip Taylor moustache ride. And if it’s _gluten-free_ vegan pizza, you’ve definitely got rainbows coming out of your pooper. ---

It’s only been about five hundred years since it was considered “gay” to eat **anything** with a fork. They didn’t call it “gay”, but using forks was once considered an unmanly way to eat. So it’s something we’re still working on. ---

If whatever you’re eating isn’t screaming in pain and terror and trying to rip your eyes out, then you’re doing it in a gay way. ---

According to this [poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=4899), about 10.08% people eat pizza with forks and knives. The chance of a male eating pizza with a fork and knife is about 9.94%, and for females it is 10.34%. Statistics will change in the future. But that’s how it is after 248 votes. ---

Gay and German aren’t the same thing. They’re two different points on the continuum of sexual orientation. It goes: \<-- Straight ---------- Bisexual ------------- Gay ------------ German --\> ---
