WILLIAMSBURG, Mass.—The coffee might not be gay, and the consumers are likely coffee lovers of every persuasion, but the message of this campy new brand is clear: Gay culture and gay history are splashing onto the coffee scene.

Five fledgling blends make up the new brand. There are dark roasts such as "Red Hanky Roast" and "Second Date," dark and medium blends like "Weekend Pass" and "Good Morning Mary" and a medium roast called "Stone Butch Breakfast Blend."

From the young blonde sailor on "Weekend Pass" to the woman carrying moving boxes on "Second Date," each blend sports humorously crafted artwork on the front to reflect its catchy moniker.

We gave 'em an inch ....

Do they have Rough Trade and Into Chicken?

[RegulatorCountry]

There’s a gourmet variety of coffee that is made from coffee beans gathered out of Civet droppings, so there is precedent of a sort, I suppose.

[ransacked]

“Dark Carpet Munch” and “Rear Admiral Roast”

[FreedomPoster]

The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name has indeed become The Love That Won’t Shut The Hell Up.

A friend of mine works in a local coffeeshop where it’s already being served. He said it had a slight smell of chlorine in it. Reminded him of the smell near a swimming pool.

[maine yankee]

Must be drunk from small cups with ‘pinkies up’.

[Dixie Yooper]

Why isn’t “Weasel-Nut” blend on the menu?

[Daffynition]

Add enough Chlorine. Kills the piddle.

[basil]

The world has gone completely mad.........

[Daffynition]

Best dang coffee on the planet

Einstein and Bad Dog our favorite blends.

[markomalley]

Sigh.

May God cleanse this perverse generation.

[Daffynition]

That it has.

Study of Women and Gender at Smith College

National Lesbian Gay Bisexual Task Force

That took it from being just funny

Why you go to a good school [it *used* to be a well-recognized college] like Smith, spend $40+K and take up gender studies ... oh wait ....prepares you for the *real world* of OWS protests. My bad.

I think most news is funny; even by my low standards, *this* is *not* funny.

[Doogle]

"..it's blended specifically to cleanse the bowel track....?????....oh chit, ya tink?

[Daffynition]

I’m so discouraged to leave my grandkids this mess.

[edpc]

Let me guess.....they’re working on a cocoa called Fudge Packer.

[edpc]

"Good Morning Mary" and a medium roast called "Stone Butch Breakfast Blend."

If they're going for authenticity, both dyke brews will have the aroma of wet dog.

[Rocco DiPippo]

Bottoms up!

[ExCTCitizen]

I think I'll open up a coffee shop, for straights. It might do great, since it will be for families. Also, the employees would not look like they were a canvas or swiss cheese in another life.

[RichInOC]

Brings a whole new level of meaning to “you’re the cream in my coffee”…

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I think I'll open up a coffee shop, for straights.

It's called Dunkin Donuts drive through. Also known as Krispy Kreme or Tim Hortons in other climes. Williamsburg, MA is the home of Williams College (don't ask) a boutique college for the worthless spawn of well-to-do Northeasterners.

[freedomfiter2]

I thought Starbucks was gay.

[who knows what evil?]

We gave 'em an inch...

Our tolerance will lead to our destruction...

Williamsburg roaster debuts 'gay coffee'

It has to be stored separately from other beans lest it molests and recruits the other varieties, eventually causing coffee to disappear from the planet altogether...

[Daffynition]

HAHAHA!

[Daffynition]

[Daffynition]

how many boy beans goes into a pound of gay coffee?

[Daffynition]

Coffee, Tea Or Sodomy? Grande?

[Daffynition]

Hope it's served in Federal prison.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Williamsburg is John Olver’s district, Mass. First, which covers the Besirkshires and most of Mass north and west of Worchester and Springfield. Olver is like not like *that*, but he is like Bawney in almost every other way.

[Caipirabob]

Do they have Rough Trade and Into Chicken?

More likely "Sex Slave Trade" and "Abuse the Chicken".

[Caipirabob]

Yikes! That’s DOUBLE the price I pay for green beans from the same countries. I roast at home and use Captain’s coffee and (far less now since they got expensive) Sweet Maria’s. My favorite is Colombian Huila, any variety.

That pic might look more suited to this thread rotated 180.

[COBOL2Java]

Why isn’t “Weasel-Nut” blend on the menu?

Or their special Christmas blend, "Butkiss Gerbil Mocha"

out of business in 6 months or less.

[usmcobra]

Creamless coffee?

[the invisib1e hand]

Or their special Christmas blend, "Butkiss Gerbil Mocha"

You touch on something: how the hell did football fans tolerate a celebrity named "Dick Butkus?"

[the invisib1e hand]

the aroma of wet dog

there's a metaphor that's worthy of more use.

[ScottinVA]

Saw “Williamsburg” and shuddered for a moment... then noted it was Williamsburg, MA, not VA. Whew.

[eyedigress]

LOL! I think Lee himself would reappear and kick their ass!

[Popman]

Marketing your product to 2 % of the population is a sure fire plan for success / S

[savagesusie]

This should be shut down-—it promotes hatred and exclusion of the opposite sex....it is sexist. It makes heterosexuals *feel* unwelcome also.

[momtothree]

“... how did football fans tolerate a celebrity named Dick Butkus?”

Go on YouTube and type in his name. He was one of the most feared players in football. Watch some clips about how hard the man hit. His name could have been “fairy twinkle toes” and the fans wouldn’t have cared a bit. The other players would have feared him the same.
