Brokeback Mountain grocery list

Can any blog not mention the movie of the year, Brokeback Mountain?

So here we go into some sterotyping, but you have to wonder why this stereotype exists. Most people think of gays as being urban hipsters, but most gay families actually tend to live out in the Midwest and the South, according to the Urban Land Institue. And of the top ten states, cities and towns for proportional same-sex couples, the # 10 on the lists are Arizona, Austin, and North Druid Hills, GA. So much for hip...

Anyway, regardless of the ULI, gay men are supposed to have good taste buds that go along with their great taste in clothes and apartments, which if you have ever known gay men you know nothing could be further from the truth (no matter how much they tell you how to furnish or dress). You take all the guys who are so uptight about their physiques and weight gain, and you have the largest consumer of canned tuna (in water!)and poached chicken breasts. No, taste is not in the gay DNA. But onto some humor:
