'Roughly 10% of all sheep are gay': When gay rams are deemed ewe-sless, one German farmer saves the gay flock and turns their wool into fluffy fashion

If there's one thing we love more than people saving animals who have done nothing wrong, it's people doing it while advocating for LGBTQ rights. So it's only natural that when we've heard a rumor about a German farmer saving gay sheep, we had to take a closer look. And, oh girl, it didn't disappoint.

First of all, we learned that about 10% of sheep are gay. We've heard of gay bears, even gay otters - so now we have to add gay sheep into the mix. Truly, you learn something new every day. But the thing is, gay sheep aren't useful for the farmers raising them. It means that in regular farms, the farmers make them Sashay, Away. But one German farmer was like "Heck, no! (or maybe "Verdammt, nein!", as far as Google Translate claims). Shantay, You Stay". He actually opened a farm that's more of a gay club for these homorams. And to support this endeavor? He makes high fluffy fashion from their wool. This guarantees - they wool survive.

To be honest, we all want to fly to Germany now just so we can hang out with these absolute icons. Who knew we'd be flocking towards 2026 with an undying love of sheep? Yeah, we neither.

First of all, look how friendly they are! You could basically sit and hang out with these gay sheep. And we all know a gay flock is the best hangout group ever.

If this ram, highlighted by the LGBTQ flag, isn't the most iconic picture to enter 2026 with - we don't know what is. This picture is power. This picture is life. This picture is gay. So, so, so gay. And we love every magnificent pixel of it.

Wool we be yours? Yes! A thousand times, yes!
But on a serious note - we don't have to get to a situation where people ask themselves: “Is this animal useful for me?” Sure, there are working animals in any farm, and many other places, but animals shouldn't be judged by their usefulness to certain human activities. So yes, these gay rams might not produce the next generation of sheep, as their original farmers had hoped - but it doesn't mean we should send them over the rainbow bridge. Because they literally bring the rainbow right here - and that is more than enough. The stunning fashion is just an adorable added bonus.
