“Dogs wele any chance to be outdoors wh a group of half-drsed homosexuals, whether ’s for a gay pri para, a Lady Gaga ncert, or a Log Cab nventn the Ozarks, ” says the charmg thor, who unts Joan Rivers and Carson Krsley among his book’s many fans. As turns out, there are a few key factors makg dogs grateful for Gay Pri Month, DePris explas.
ABANDONED ‘GAY AS HELL’ DOG FDS HOME WH GAY NORTH CAROLA UPLE
“Here are three reasons a dog prefers to be ‘owned’ by [gay people] stead of hets: 1) The gay ‘fay’ dog ually don’t have to play send oboe to two-legged children. 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?
FRISKY PUP DUMPED AT N.C. SHELTER FOR BEG ‘GAY’ AFTER OWNER TCH HIM HUMPG FELLOW MALE DOGGY
“There are wonrful gay and straight dog owners out there, and there are horrible gay and straight dog owners out there, too. When a sensible, rponsible gay man — if such a creature exists — ms to a dog, the dog be his fay, his kid, and a tly important part of his world.
” When breers, rcuers, or shelter-dog adoptn unselors see a potential dog owner/adopter who is gay, they tend to jump for joy, figurg that dog will enjoy a great, pampered life.
“Y, gay men tend to spoil their dogs, treatg them like te fay and givg them high prry.

For lots of gay men, dogs exist as substut for lovers, children, close fay, and maybe even good iends. Secretly, most gay men want to be like dogs, even when they’re standg. ” Acceptance, tolerance, unndnal love … the are thgs dogs give everybody, but gay people haven’t always been the beneficiari of such gifts om their fellow humans.
Are gays pecially appreciative of that ne love — more, perhaps, than someone who’s never experienced tolerance or prejudice?
CAN DOGS BE GAY? WELL, Y AND NO…
“Gay men have a lot to learn om dog love, ” DePris says. ” But serly, he adds, “Many gay men feel a disnnect wh their own fai.
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?
NO, WHEN MALE DOGS MOUNT OTHER MAL, IT DON'T MEAN THEY'RE GAY
“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.
