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.

Do they have Rough Trade and Into Chicken?

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.

“Dark Carpet Munch” and “Rear Admiral Roast”

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.

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

Sigh.

May God cleanse this perverse generation.

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.

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

[Daffynition]

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