Dogs are gay
Have you ever noticed that your kitten is way too affectionate towards her female friends than you think she should be? Or maybe you’ve seen your dog trying to mount another pup and suspect there might be another explanation to this behavior than just a playful mood.
As the investigate on human gender and sexuality has seen tremendous progress over the last several decades, many people have opened their minds to the idea that their pets can be more homosexual than we’re used to thinking. However, the answer to the question “Can a dog be gay?” might be quite complicated.
What does research say about homosexuality in animals?
The topic of homosexuality was a taboo even not so long ago. Only around 20 years back, in 1999, Bruce Bagemihl published his book Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, which unveiled that over 300 species of vertebrates employ in homosexual deed, while some scientists were still conflicting the idea that homosexuality among animals is a ordinary thing.
Today it is no longer a revelation that many animals engage in different kinds of same-sex interactions: in some species only males, in others only females, and in many both do. As Joan

Science has discovered so many things in first utero development and genetics that influences gender and sexuality in humans but what about pets?
While watching Katie Couric’s Gender Revolution and doing dog stuff, the thought of homosexuality in animals crossed my mind. I recognize some species partake in identical sex relationships. Some of these are listed below.
Did you realize that dogs exhibit a broad range of sexual behaviors, including same-sex interactions?

It is not the case that everything we watch is about sex and gender roles. When it comes to what appears to be sexual action, it is clear that too much anthropomorphism merged with limited knowledge of dog behavior can direct to bad outcomes for family pets. According to a report by TV WCCB in Charlotte, North Carolina, the owners of a dog gave him up to a shelter because they thought that he was "gay." The dog, Fezco, is a mixed breed, about 4-to-5 years old, weighing around 50 pounds, and by all reports, he is friendly and sociable. The Stanly County Animal Shelter reported that the dog's owners surrendered him to the shelter claiming that he displayed his homosexuality by "humping" another male dog.

Although this caring of activity is part of normal sexual action in dogs, in the most common interactions among canines such behavior has nothing to do with sex, but a lot to do with social dominance.
