1) The word fruitcake has come to mean someone who is round the bend, out to lunch, completely fucking mad. It came from the old British slang"Nutty as a fruitcake"(fruitcakes have got nuts in, ya see), because, as you know we've used the slang term "Nutters" for the insane for....well ever, really.
2) I do believe that some American people call gay people fruitcakes. I know that the term "fruit" has been used as a slightly derogatory term for Gay men(in the UK any way), but I'm really not sure where the "cakes" bit came from, or why!.

A horrible tasting, rock hard food that you give to your least favorite people. Fruitcakes are often as tough as a boulder and as appetizing as one. Due to their inedible nature, fruitcakes are often regifted (or rarely gifted) to someone (often a disliked person).
Little Johhny received a fruitcake from his wife's sister for Christmas. Because it was harder than a rock, he regifted it to his annoying sister, Margret, for New Years.
