Dear Mr. King. in one of your books series "The Dark Tower" you called homosexuals "fruit." Tell me, is really existing fact or just the idea of the author? If fact, some of what time it is coming from a part of the world? thanks

Welcome to the site. 
Stephen's characters do not necessarily reflect his personal thoughts or feelings. I am almost 100% certain that he does not think of homosexuals in this way.

Anyway, I did not ask for the purpose of offending anyone else. An interesting fact.Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the SKMB! I'm sure you haven't offended anybody here.
There are colorful words in all his books... he isn't for everyone I suppose. No offense.. just good character writing. Welcome to SKMB..
But still. In this case, the word "fruit" occurs in stories? Or is it fiction?
I'm not sure I am understanding your question properly. Do you mean is this something some people call homosexual folks in real life? I wouldn't know, I've never heard it said in real life before.
Yes, I was asking about this. Is it possible, once homosexuals were called "fruit." I apologize for my English
No need to apologise... I guess it is possible, there have been a lot of horribly derogatory names for gay people over the years.Yes, I was asking about this. Is it possible, once homosexuals were called "fruit." I apologize for my English
You can google it.. all the different words used for gay or any other word. Not sure why this is 'interesting' ? But I do hope you enjoy it here.. everyone here is great! Again... Welcome to SKMB
Welcome to the board !
As far as most of us know, Uncle Stevie doesn't come to the board and answer questions, so it's unlikely you'll get a direct answer from him. This article from Wikipedia goes into more detail than I thought existed about the use of the term "fruit" as slang for gay men. Fruit (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you all for answers and patience. The answer I received. What was my interest? The simple human curiosity.
With joy. But I beg your pardon. I work as a truck driver, this does not always have time to talk in the afternoon. In the evenings it much more
