LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

[Barnette]

Similar to bisexual. Pansexual is attraction to anybody, regardless of gender.

Yep, pan is when u have attraction to all genders without preferences. Omnisexual is attraction to all genders WITH preferences

Oh hey! Didn't realize this thread existed.

I'm queer/pan/trans, and I'm glad there are others here in the LGBTQ+/chickening Venn diagram!

Welcome!

Hello all,

What's up? Just dropping in, is that ok?
(Not rainbow, or trans or anything).

I'm a cis-gendered, straight, married old lady. Lots of cool people on this thread, and that's why I like to hang out here.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining.

TLDR: I simply have to show off this beautiful snail
This is the first giant african land snail I've had since I lost my beautiful fulica rodatzi, Kupa.

The ramble I actually want to share: This is Bug, she is an achatina fulica, and is a wild caught from Madagascar... I was skeptical about buying her, for fear of her being stressed in captive conditions, but she has settled very well. She is the happiest most active snail I think I've ever owned! Very friendly too. For anyone who doesn't know about giant african land snails, fulica are the most common variety, and they've been inbred so irresponsibly that all the ones sold these days have awful genetics. Lifespans of 2 or 3 years when they should be living 7 years on average. And growing to about 8cm in shell length when they should be making about 13 or 14cm at minimum.... So it is vital to take wild snails and introduce their strong genetics to the mix. It is my hope that in a while when I am able, I will be able to breed her and hatch a clutch of eggs. If I do the necessary culling process of runts, I should have healthier captive bred fulica to put out there for other snail keepers. But this is all a maybe, and dependant on lots of things.

So cool. Did you know snail slimes are good for the skins? I know in Korea they put it in their skin care cosmetics like BB Cream.

Hmm. I prefer zero romantic relations (better off alone, and with my dogs), but am straight.
Only since this is in the random threads, here's my experience; I know of a guy who dates other men, he likes to flaunt his, decisions, & has poor character; I do not like to talk to him because also have heard him badmouthing other well-meaning folks. However, (since I have asked him; bad experience) I do not understand how someone can be attracted to another man or such. Is this natural? Is this an evolutionary concept and is the whole LBQT+ thing, like, modern? Trying to wrap my head around this, I have always been sheltered/live under rock.
Thanks for explaining folks

I'm assuming your question boils down to "how can someone be attracted to the same sex?", correct? Just so I don't answer something you weren't asking

Oh dear... I have fallen down another crafts rabbit hole.....

Okay, looked at it again, amd I'll address what I can now. Might come back later to it though.

Is this natural?

I mean, yeah. Not really sure how it wouldn't be though except as attention seeking, in which case I would imagine it would be incredibly less common.

Is this an evolutionary concept?

I've seen theories about how having a 'gay uncle' (or the equivalent) would have been pretty helpful in smaller groups when humans were more survival based than they are now. How a gay male would be less competition for a mate, but also provide another body for food gathering and defense. Kinda like older women (and other animals that experience menopause like whales and elephants), they may not have provided reproductive benefits, but they provide other benefits for their family group. But again, it's all theories.

LBQT+ thing, like, modern?

Definitely not. I'm pretty sure every mythological at least one queer member. *cough* Greek and Norse especially *cough* there's even a minor(?) Chinese God dedicated to homosexual love (I think specifically male homosexuality, but not 100% certain). If I remember correctly, the whole reason he became a God was because he professed his love and was killed by the guy he fell for, who then grew guilty and built him a dedicated temple afterwards (I'll try to remember to find more specifics when I have time).

Asexual is also considered a "sexuality" now too. A dear friend of mine considers herself ace and said she just has zero interest in sex.
