    Lol!!

    I honestly do wonder about this! I can usually tell if a dog is male or female just by looking at their face for a few seconds. Don't ask me how, I guess it's my very unusual (and useless) superpower. Every once in a while, I'm wrong and it makes me wonder about this. Maybe a different energy? I don't know.

    My female dog goes after anything, she especially loves cats. Her long time relationship is with a male cat though and she's cheating on him with my mother's male chihuahua. So I think she still prefers dudes, she just likes to be the one doing all the action. I wonder if it's a dominance thing?

    Yeah, I think humping is usually about dominance rather than being a sexual behavior. 

    This is an interesting read, if you're interested.

    My cousin has a male cocker spaniel named Huckleberry. He wears little plastic bows in his hair, so we joke about him being gay, lol. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at August 26, 2020 4:18 AM MDT

    If he brings them to your cousin to be put in, maybe he's transgender! :)

    It seems very possible. Homosexual activity, same-gender coupling or at least some representation of it, has been noted in dozens of species of animals, from mammals to fish to reptiles, even insects. This post was edited by Don Barzini at October 24, 2020 8:42 PM MDT

    It appears that in some species, it extends to real romantic or affectionate feelings toward the same gender and isn't limited to sexual behavior. 

    I wonder if this information would do anything to affect how certain humans feel about homosexuality being a choice and a "sin"?

    It certainly debunks certain scriptural claims that homosexuality is not a natural conditon, not “of God”, therefore has to be evil. 

    I doubt we need to wonder about what kind of reaction would arise from the type who also think that woman came from a rib, plants were created before the sun, and a 500 year old man built a wooden boat to hold 2 of every creature.

    No. No animal can be classed as homosexual they are animals not humans, only humans think and give labels in this manner to animals, you will not find an animal which is a republican or democrat either.  Most animals that romp with the opposite sex do so out of dominance, or lack of the opposite sex being present.

      Great question, and it’s induced some poignant thoughts here. Personally, I do not know enough about animals to answer accurately, however.

    I've observed it in dogs and cockatiels. However, as kjames pointed out, it's most likely a dominance thing rather than true homosexuality.

    I know they can be and the sad part is that there are humans that will hate the dog because of it. My buddy had a dog that was a lesbian and one of our freinds hated that dog and said she was an obomanation and one day he tried to poison it so we had that guy fixed. Cheers!

    I don't think dogs have a good understanding of either concept.
