ginger beer
Cockney rhyming slang for a homosexual man.

Ginger Beer.... Queer!

I have also heard it used in relation to engineers, though I suspect they didn't like it very much!
eg ''Engineers are ginger beers.''

Well, in Asheville, ginger beer is on tap year-round, then.

Laguntas not nearly as good as what I can get from local breweries. Sad.

If I don't drink pilsner I like some Irish red ale or stout. I'm over the bitter hoppy stuff. It's fine with some food, like real fatty fish or smoked meat but for siting back and relaxing, nah.

I was thinking about what I wanted to do to that blond chick until she put that ghost pepper chip in her mouth and was like nope nope that shit is forever ruined.

Faith is a trooper, though.

A "gay conversion" counsellor who founded one of America's largest "therapy" programmes has come out as gay, calling his former practice "harmful".

McKrae Game, 51, is the former leader of Hope for Wholeness and spent 20 years promising to give clients “freedom from homosexuality”.

The practice, designed to suppress or change a person's sexuality, is widely discredited and outlawed in 18 American states.

Mr Game admitted that former clients attempted suicide for telling them they were "doomed". But now he has come out as gay and admitted therapy doesn't work.

He told The Post and Courier newspaper: "Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful because it’s false advertising.”

Mr Game also said he was a "religious zealot" who hurt people, adding: "People said they attempted suicide over me and the things I said to them.
He said: "I WAS WRONG. Please forgive me. I certainly regret where I caused harm. I know that creating the organisation that still lives was in a large way causing harm. Creating a catchy slogan that put out a very misleading idea of 'Freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ' was definitely harmful.

Weird how converting from straight to gay should be accepted and defended, but converting from gay to straight is somehow evil. LOL

Weird how some people still think it is a choice.
