Where Do Gay Animals Come From? (feat. A Field Guide To Gay Animals)

"All male, all-whale orgies"...need I say more?We're back with another extra special episode for Pride Month 2024! And this one is a DOOZY, my little Hormones.First of all, let me just say..."You know you're gay right?"That's my impression of me talking to every living animal on this good, green Earth.Because it turns out animals have been gay for millennia (stop copying me, guys!), and human animals have known about it forever.Not least my new best friends, Laine and Owen, who are the hosts of the about-to-be-mega-hit podcast, A Field Guide to Gay Animals.Like many scholars who have come before them, Laine and Owen are fascinated by the queer natural world. Tune in to the episode to hear us discuss who the gayest animals are, where they come from, and which intrepid souls first outed them.We talk cock-chafing beetles, big gay sheep with really big...horns, and of course THE Havelock Ellis (you know the one).When you're done, go listen to Laine & Owen's premiere episode, which contains so many more incredible stories on this fascinating subject. I kid you not, it made me rethink my homosexuality...top to bottom. (No seriously I'm thinking of topping...halp.)For more from Historical Homos, you can join our cult at www.historicalhomos.com and follow us on Instagram and TikTok.If you like what you hear, please leave us a five star rating on Apple or Spotify.
