the LDS pineapple plantation in Hawaii

[_Quasimodo]

.

When the 14-year old boy returned from his summer of pickin', his teeth showed visible rot from eating too much fresh pineapple and he was no longer interested in girls. Now, he was interested in boys.

Anyone else heard of homosexuality over at the pineapple farm?

Obviously, it was the overdose of pineapple enzymes that changed his sexual preferences (along with rotting his teeth). I have empirical evidence. I've never cared for pineapple and I'm still heterosexual and still have all my teeth. Pretty hard to argue with.

Perhaps pineapple is the real forbidden fruit. It is, after all, called pineAPPLE. I will always wonder now, about people that order pineapple on their pizzas.

Prop 8 should have included a ban on pineapple.

Myself and other classmates were astonished. Sure, he had been a horn-dog since puberty began, but he'd always been oriented towards girls. Now, that was gone and he was openly gay, which he remains to this day. He has consistently and frequently mentioned that he had never really thought about other guys in a sexual way until he went to Hawaii, but claimed it was pretty common there at the LDS pineapple farm, and he was hit on the second day there by one of the older guys.

Oh, the astonishingly poor grammar of the foregoing.

Just proves my point. You can't keep your nominal values fixed.

Is being gay a choice or something you get by birth? If this gay pineapple picker was gay from birth, then who are you to complain about his happiness in getting some?

Or, does one turn gay by choice, and here the choice was forced by the Church or its minions? Is that what you're saying?

I've heard a lot of stories about the pineapple picking camps. Several staff at the Mormon Gulag started there. The name of the company that runs the farms is Youth Developmental Enterprises.


E.T.A:
This guy wrote about his experiences picking pineapples in Hawaii as a "troubled" teen.

This pineapple/sexuality connection intrigues me. At the very least it is fodder for a new cocktail...

Crushed pineapple, a cherry, rum, an umbrella and sparklers. Let's call it the "Oscar Wilde".

Been there, done that...

I was in YDE - Hawaii, 1987. I can't remember any rumors about homosexuality while I was there, but it's certainly possible. There were no females on the plantation, and we were not allowed to leave. Most of the kids there had been sent for some rehabilitative purpose, ie. alcohol, drugs, behavior issues, etc... We worked in groups of 14 (all housed in the same barrack room). Each group had an LDS counselor, and got 'counseling' each week.

As far as I know, it wasn't LDS owned, but the owners stressed the LDSness of the place when trying to sell the program to parents.

Way too fruity for dear Oscar...

Pineapple juice, ginger liqueur, a drop of absinthe (or Pernod), decorated with a green Lily. Served with a libelous calling card as a coaster.

And, of course, we know that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder ...

I think he mentioned two summers, with one summer in-between, recovering from rectal repair surgery.
