CAN DOGS AND CATS BE GAY? [MYTH BTED!]
Stop wonrg whether or not dogs or ts n be gay and disver what science says about this behavr the animal kgdom. * gay cats mate *
That leads to the topic of today’s post: gay ts.
To wre this blog post, I spent way more time readg articl on homosexualy ts than I ever thought I would. My search history now clus terms such as “homosexual behavr ts” and “n ts be lbians.” It’s been a strange day, let me tell you.
The t likely don’t re one b so if you thk your t is gay, you are ee to label them as such!
IS MY PET GAY?
We n answer the qutn, “Do ts engage homosexual behavr?” That’s a slightly different qutn than “Are ts gay?” but that subtle difference mak a qutn we n’t answer bee sudnly very answerable! Homosexualy In Other Speci. Let’s start out by takg a broad look at homosexualy non-human animals.
For those who thk homosexualy is unnatural, there are hundreds of speci of animals that have monstrated homosexual behavrs acrdg to possibly my new favore book, Blogil Exuberance: Homosexualy and Natural Diversy by Bce Bagemihl. Homosexualy has been observed bighorn sheep, flamgos, gorillas, and whal among many, many others. Gay Cats.
Have we observed homosexual behavr among ts? Cats big and ltle have been observed engagg homosexual behavrs, although some s they may not be actual sexual behavr and stead are jt affectnate behavr between iendly animals. Observatns of homosexual behavr among hoe ts have even been documented the scientific lerature (Fox, 1965).
CAN A CAT BE GAY?
This leads to one possible explanatn of why ts may engage homosexual behavr: sexual tratn. A possible explanatn of why ts may engage homosexual behavr is that ’s a way to get out their sexual tratn, much like they did wh the rabbs the Hagamen study.
One that Yamane and other rearchers (Michael, 1961) noted is that homosexual behavr may be terrory related, though Yamane puts forth other potential explanatns cludg practicg for future sexual enunters, rcg sexual enunters between sexual petors, and nfg a male t for a female t heat. This explas why most studi on t behavr foc on sgular enunters and why you’ll notice above I didn’t talk about long term pairs of ts homosexual pairgs.
We wouldn’t expect to see such pairgs heterosexual ts so seeg homosexual pairgs is even ls likely. It n be somethg nocent like lookg at your t as beg gay or n be somethg that has more sister nsequenc. If you’re lookg for the book I fanboyed on this whole post or more rmatn on this topic, Blogil Exuberance or Homosexual Behavr Animals are both a great read!
