Hello, sugar snow bunnies! Have you been watching the Olympics? I am totally digging the figure skating to songs with words! If the Olympic Committee was trying to seduce millennials to watch the game, it worked on me! Hope you’re enjoying the winter sport of your choice and rooting for your favorite teams!

Can cats be gay, lesbian or bisexual? I know you were wondering.

Meet Me at MeMe’s Diner for Queer Brunch
MeMe’s Diner in Prospect Heights is generating a lot of buzz after describing themselves as “very, very gay” in an interview with Jarry Mag. Owners Bill Clark and Libby Willis claim to teach all their staff to use gender-neutral language and to not question names on credit cards that don’t match up to a guest’s gender presentation.
Also, they offer a free bowl of cereal at their brunch and I’m not mad at all about that!
A Love Story for the Ages: Thomas the Bisexual Poly Goose
Thomas the goose and Henry the black swan became unusual same-gender interspecies mates at Waimanu Lagoon in Waikanae. They spent 24 years together before Henry met Henrietta, his black swan mate, and the three birds lived together and raised Henry and Henrietta’s 68 children together.
When Henry died in 2009 at the age of 30, Henrietta moved on to pick a different swan mate, and Thomas was visibly distraught, according to locals.
Thomas eventually fathered children of his own with a goose mate and lived out his final elder years at the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust, where he served as a foster parent to orphaned baby swans. Thomas recently passed and he will be buried next to his former mate, Henry. RIP, beautiful boy!
Well that’s certainly different than the Natalie Portman/Mila Kunis version

OMG.
When our male cat was about 5 we adopted two female barn kittens. Naturally he hated them for a while, and then grumpily made his peace. Then one spring day I looked out on the deck and there he was with one of the kittens, grooming, nuzzling, and generally making me very glad that we had fixed everybody or we would have had more kittens on the way. Ever since then, the kitten (now cat) behaves like someone in love: she follows him, demands that he lick her head, sleeps with him as often as possible. . . if cats can behave in a heterosexual way, why not homosexual?
MEOWWWW
I thought my kitten was lonely because she wanted a mommy, but it actually turns out that she might have wanted a mommi.
Lovely story about Henry, Henrietta and Thomas as well as all of their Cygnets.
I totally had an Olympics opening ceremony watch party inspired by your queer lady athletes post!

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!
It was worth the wait.
Don’t worry. Images are HARD.
I don’t know about cats, but my (intact) Weimaraner is a homoromantic asexual.
He has never met a girl that remotely interests him, even when they run away from home while in heat to fawn over him, but he gets SO excited and intrusively fawning over boys. Also, his favourite breed of dog is the Poodle, so there’s that.
Your doggie knows what he wants! I respect that.
