He explains the meaning of this very song. It has nothing to do with (least, not to my knowledge) with homosexual feelings, it's about when Stone was a child, he would always avoid the bayleaf in his soup bowl, and that is the whole theme of this CD. What is the significance behind this bayleaf? Again, check his website. He explains it there.
