        I don't know if gays are more likely to have pets than straights but maybe it has something to do with the difficulty gays have having children. I have 3 dogs but I don't think it has anything to do with being gay.

                Wow, that was a bit of blanket statement coupled with a made up statistic. So I decided to look into it.

                A 2007 Harris Interactive/Witeck-Combs Communications survey revealed that 71 percent of LGBT adults own pets, compared to 63 percent of heterosexuals. That is an 8% difference. In the grand scheme of things that's not that much of a gap. I don't think its due to being lonely. I grew up around German Shepherds and have always had them, my partner grew up around Poodles (Miniature and Standard) we currently have a German Shepherd and a Giant Schnauzer.

                There are a lot of factors for why people get a pet, I am not saying being lonely is not a factor, but if it is I would say it only applies to a very very small percentage.

                The same survey found LGBTs and heterosexuals virtually identical (90 percent-89 percent) in considering their pet a member of the family. It is safe to say that while no one loves animals more than our community, really, virtually everyone does. I know straight couples who are exactly the same.

                The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you’re hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

                  yeah but thats not what I meant.
                  I meant, children love pets. Gays are never growing old children ( http://www.gayguys.com/2014/08/gay-men-curse-peter-pan-syndrome/ ) , that's why they are more likely to have pets. I'm not talking about the relationship with the pet itself.

                    I never grew up with pets besides fishes. When I find my own place and have a nice stable income I'll adopt a few kittens. I honestly just love cats. I'll never adopt a dog though.

                      I've always had cats and dogs, often one or more of each, and even a rabbit and ducks as pets growing up… I just like animals because I've basically always had them around. I have always liked cats in particular. I am definitely a crazy cat lady (laddie?)...

                      I don't think gay people are intrinsically lonely. I do enjoy the company of animals in part because I have bad anxiety, though, which means I have no social life. It's got nothing to do with being gay, though.

                        I haven't got any pets. I wouldn't mind taking on a rescue otter, if he is top and likes Italian food.  :cheesy2:

                            I'll always help a living being in need - no matter if it's a dog or a person or any kind of animal really.
                            Also, lets be honest - gay people care more 😉

                              Growing up, we have various pets, but there was always at least 1 dog in the house.
