Two of my favorite Britcoms are Monty Python and Are You Being Served.One of Python's skits features three characters,one of whom is named "Ginger" and is as fruity as they come.In an episode of AYBS they're serving a woman who wants to buy a sweater for her husband.At one point,when discussing the color she should buy,the woman says that her husband is "ginger"...meaning,in that context,that he's fair skinned and has either blonde or red hair.But on hearing her say that Mr Humphries gets an excited look on his face and,in case you're not a fan of the series,Mr Humphries is as fruity as they come.
I could be wrong here but I'm inclined to think not.
Any Brits who want to weigh in on this feel free so to do! ;-)
Below is a photo of "Ginger" from the Python skit I mentioned.
Again, that is like a freeper calling a dark-complexioned feral youth “Amish.” It is a way that they show contempt against redheads, by likening them to gay people. But that doesn’t make redheads gay or make “ginger” mean gay.
