And what does 'lame in a fruity way' mean?

It's more like when most usually say 'gay marriage' they have to say 'homosexual marriage'. Which is correct in a grammar way, but is used to highlight a negative feel about the word 'homosexual' itself. They can't get away with 'fag marriage' in the media, but of course I'm sure Savage and Coulter can. Take a look at press releases and letters by right wing crazies, it's always 'homosexual' and not 'gay'. Even the AP just came out recently and said journalism etiquette is the use of 'gay' and not 'homosexual'.
