The 'Gay Diet' If 'man food' is meat and 'girl food' is salad, what's 'gay food'?
Simon Doonan has just written a new book called Gay Men Don't Get Fat. Doonan is less famous here than he is in the States: he's a Reading-born, highly successful window dresser for Barneys, a style columnist for the New York Post and elsewhere, and is married to the designer Jonathan Adler.
His title alludes, of course, to the mid-noughties bestseller French Women Don't Get Fat, which did more to raise awareness of the French paradox among the general public than any book before it. Doonan's text is more of an arch and witty discourse on aspects of gay and straight life, written in a gossipy, frivolous and ultimately rather lovable style.
"Straight foods are basic and uncontrived," he writes. "Gay foods are fiddly and foofy ... Sushi may well be the gayest food on earth. The design of the average ikura gunkan maki or hirame nigiri is, if you look at it objectively, really quite extraordinary. Sushi chefs are basically taking sloppy bits of fish and magically reworking them into exquisite bonbons. How gay, right? ... While sushi is swishy, Mexican food is unbelievably macho. As delicious as a burrito is, it is basically just a cross between a turd and a penis."

The Japanese would disagree.
Gay men may not get fat, but judging from Barney’s pic.....apparently they get boobs.
This is the most stupid article in the history of man!

Truly. You’ll take away my heterosexuality - AND my sushi - when you pry them from my...uh, never mind
In a manner of speaking, yes.
But if you look closely, you’ll note that the young lady (?) has affixed an actual, literal burrito to herself.
Dang ... mods pulled pic.
Use your favourite search engine to look for “indigurrito” for pics, explanation, and at least one old FR thread on the topic.
The first thing I thought of was Sam Kinison..
Warning, strong language!

“You’ll take away my heterosexuality - AND my sushi - when you pry them from my...uh, never mind”
LOL! Please.........keep your sushi!
And, your heteorsexuality!
/blame
And...I never, ever want to know where one would have to pry.
“gay men don’t get fat” because gay men obsess over staying skinny in order to maintain a boyish look that appeals to the homosexual’s pederast nature. Nearly all cases of eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) in men are in gay men.
I’ve noticed that gay men talk about being fat or worrying about it more that most women do.
