Question:
Jake, I have this neighbor who has, I believe, a gay dog. Can dogs be gay? He squats when he pees, barks like a wussy, and is always needing attention. Is he gay or suffering from gender identity?

Answer:
Smokey, your question crosses into a subject that must be dealt with in an extremely tactful manner. The answer to your first question is yes. In fact, most dogs do not have a sexual preference. If they are in the mood “dog will hump,” as it were. Most dogs will not even be shy away from humping gender neutral objects, such as stuffed animals or your leg. Because of this it is difficult to make the argument that dogs have any sense of gender identity at all. This doesn’t mean that some dogs are more effeminate than others though. Some entire breeds are effeminate. Others are masculine.
This guy, for example, will probably never exude a shred of masculinity, his entire life.
“Killer”
This girl, on the other hand, will most likely be mistaken for a dude, as long as she lives.
“Daisy”
As a footnote, a dog owner’s choice of dog, can often be a subconscious message to others about how they would like to portray themselves. So, it is possible that if you… oh wait, I mean “your neighbor” is a male, he may be trying to project his gay tendencies through his effeminate dog.
