I don't see why people use animals as a type of gay man

Imagine having a whole species only to have a person consider themselves as that for something like that

It helps describe body types and personality traits that gay men are looking for. The lesbian community has quite a few terms themselves to share the types of women they are and the types they are interested in. It's just tradition for gay men to partially use animal to describe themselves.

In the 70s and 80s, gay men adapted animal terms for themselves. Animals have certain appearances and personality traits that they adapted or stereotyped to the point that it became easily recognized terms for others in the community. In the past, people had to be much more discreet about being gay and discreet about what they were looking for. For some reason, using animal traits was part of what they thought to do as the best way to get across what they were looking for physically in a romantic partner or a hook up and what they look like also in a way thats discreet and might only be understood by others in the community.

Historically, San Francisco also had meetings were gay men would meet up for "physical activities" with each other and theses were called "bear hug parties"... Such meetings probably further influced gay men to go by animal terms if they weren't already. On top of that, there was pro gay magazine articles that shared/speard the animal terminology for gay men to use. It just became the discreet/helpful way for gay men.

Now with the modern world, even if more people are openly gay, it's still seen as helpful for dating as a quick way to describe what you are looking for or what you look like.

It's been nearly 2 and a half weeks since I had internet at home so I'm really hoping it'll actually be fixed tomorrow. But yea, Im luck to have my boyfriends. They been helping me keep sane enough through this whole thing. I got a few good friends too. One of my best friend's also let me use his internet one of the days too which I appreciate. It's definitely an improvement from using the gas station wifi which is how I started this no internet at home journey. Lol.
