Gay men are sentially jt as greedy, though we will share our toys wh men if they buy a meal first. 3) Dogs love to be the spoiled ‘kids’ of a gay uple — two and all the bbl and nylon bon that money n buy. ” What’s the, ahem, biggt difference between gay dog lovers and straight on?

Dogs live to nnect, and the unndnal love a dog offers when he rais a paw or bs his nose his new owner’s crotch may be the first te moment of ‘fay’ a gay man experienc. Might gay people be more likely to overlook “what everybody else thks” by boldly selectg a maligned breed as a ne pann? “Who’s more keenly aware of stupidy this world than gay people?

If dogs let some gay people experience fay at s nonjudgmental bt for the first time, do dogs livg wh gay folks feel the difference, not beg objectified as “pets”? Unlike gay men, dogs are fairly discrimate about the tails of their liftyle. Is a gay man quicker to give his whole heart to a dog?
