Gay names for dogs

Gay Dude&#;s Dog Names A &#; Z

Straight people have fairly straightforward names for their dogs. Spike, Champ, Oscar. Other times we get pretty and name them Mr. Pibb or Shit-Stain. But last week I learned something outside a dog park in West Hollywood. I learned that queer dude&#;s have a completely different protocol for naming their dogs than direct people do. One trick seems to be to hold a name that sounded masculine (yet fancy) a scant generations ago. A name that might have belonged to some old fashioned dancer who was in the closet in , perhaps. I&#;m not sure what the protocol is, but I wanted to view if I could master the homosexual dude&#;s naming approach and so I&#;ve compiled this A-Z list for you to enjoy!

In order to decide if the names sound authentic, please try to dream a gay companion losing his patience while calling out in an effeminate yet commanding voice, each of these names, as he tries to govern his dog at the dog park.

Sebastian, our Aussiedoodle puppy, arrives this week. He’s named after St. Sebastian, the unofficial patron saint, or icon, of gay men. Perpetua and Felicity are the unofficial patron saints of lesbians.

We name our dogs after famous homosexual people because we can. Lincoln, named after the speculated gay or bi U.S. President, was with us just six compact years, and before him, Brit, the yellow Lab, was named for English composer Benjamin Britten.

Why St. Sebastian? Sebastian is the first saint you spot in books and paintings who’s nearly naked. Covered only with a loin cloth, he is stretched up with his hands tied to a pole and is shot with arrows. For most ever little gay boy who saw that homoerotic photo in The Lives of the Saints, it was the first time their spirituality and their sexuality either merged or clashed. Was it okay for a little gay, religious boy to hope the loin cloth dropped?

It took me a long day to make peace between my spirituality and my sexuality. I never felt guilty for having queer sexual thoughts. My guilt came from having any sexual thoughts as a youngst

Dog adopted after being called 'gay,' abandoned at shelter

A North Carolina man wasn't planning to adopt a dog last week but one canine's story stood out to Steve Nichols and his partner, John Winn. According to Nichols, their decision was secure to an "immediate" one.

Nichols, 61, and Winn, 58, have been together for 33 years and first learned about a puppy who was abandoned for showing so-called "gay" conduct from a local news report.

"We saw the story about the owner who turned the dog into the shelter because he thought he was gay," Nichols told "Good Morning America." "The dog had humped another male pup and he contacted the shelter and said if you don't rescue this dog, I'm going to kill him. So the folks in the shelter were great and create a place for him immediately."

The dog was taken to Stanly County Animal Protective Services, a shelter that works with Greater Charlotte SPCA. He was given the name Fezco.

"My partner and I started talking about it. The conversation went sort of like this, &#x
