Just explain (in English) what it means
I searched on Google and found out that
1. Fruitloop is a drink
2. Fruitloop (but spelled as frootloop)is a kind of cereal from Kelloggs
3. It also seems to be a (bad) characteristic of a person. My writer obviously used it in the last meaning. So what kind of person could you call a fruitloop?

: ok, I stand corrected - but then should say "someone acting or actually gay". (I see in my Internet research that is also "Slang for the predominantly gay area of DC known as Dupont Circle."

In current teen slang on the West Coast of the US, "froot loop" can most definitely mean "gay."

juvera
: Two separate meanings from different origin: the small loop on the back of some man's shirt (to hang onto) - connected to gays; or the Fruit Loops - loopy, crazy.
