LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

As gay people we often encounter discrimination that other people don’t experience. It makes it easier to relate to each other about our experiences.

okay fair enough.

but i thought ALL sexual based topics where not allowed to be talked about.

when someone starts talking about sex, let us know.

Allosaurus Rock has always been nice and friendly to me, orientation and or gender does not matter. I look at what people are saying rather than worry about those things. But I have "run" into grumpy, and very unpleasant people on BYC. Just keep being a good person, it will show through. "Gray rock" the unpleasant people.

Grump people exist. They just need to be ignored I guess.

I am. Nice to meet you! Me and my lil family, husband and toddler, live in TX and I have horses and chickens. Anywhere from 30-100 at a time, but that’s mostly to raise meat birds. I have about 25 layers. We are actually going to expand our meat bird side just a little bit to officially raise meat for our family and friends that want to pay us for it.


There is just all kinds of reasons why people find commonality amongst each other. If it were just as simple as being a chicken keeper, there would only need to be one forum.

there are countless threads that discuss husbands, spouses, etc., and because we live in a heteronormative culture, you don’t see those as advertising a sex preference, but that’s exactly what they are doing. You just don’t notice because it’s an ingrained perspective in our society. No one pops on those to ask why sexual preference is being advertised or why anyone needs to know the OP is straight...

Interestingly, and back on topic, my entire chicken keeping journey, especially my meat bird journey, has been an attempt to reclaim a path of my life I tried to have from a young age. Unfortunately, because I felt stigma and pressures and did not feel like I appropriately fit in with the Ag crowd growing up, I’m 20 years behind where I should be. Maybe that’s better said as where I “could” be, because it’s important to be grateful for our journeys wherever they lead.

This post made me think.

I should have thought a little more before I posted my very first post in this thread.


I didn't understand/get the reason for the thread but as I'm reading through now I am understanding more.

Fwiw it makes no difference to me what one chooses to call themselves, how one dresses, or what color they paint their toenail.

Just so you know.....my first thought was the same as your first post. I had the benefit of coming in after the thread had grown some.

Honestly I don't disagree with your first post.....but I am grateful for this one.

It’s lovely to hear that it makes more sense for some people now. You having such an open mind gives me a bit of hope. Thank you.

I immediately thought "bedroom" stuff.
Maybe because I'm older.

People do have a tendency to think that way. It wasn’t my intention at all when I started this thread. Being transgender for instance is definitely not a bedroom thing, although there are more personal aspects about it that should be kept off byc.
