  1. I don’t know about gay possums but we have a raccoon coming around our back patio that is as big as a foot stool with legs.

  2. I love opossums! They eat ticks that harbor nasty diseases like Lyme disease, and they don’t usually carry rabies because their body temperatures are too low.
    They eat other nasty bugs that can harm your crops in your garden as well.
    They’re usually non-aggressive and only hiss to try to scare you away, or play dead.

  3. I always make my cat come in at dusk, because then my yard belongs to the possums. I don’t think I want to see what happens if they’re both outside at the same time, though they might become besties. I love possums, and am always glad to see them ambling down my fence line!

  7. My Border Collie/Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog once herded a possum. That was the slowest herding I’ve ever seen but Daisy, our dog, was bound and determined to her that possum.

  8. I don’t Insta so I’m only getting my gay possums second hand. But since they come from you, I’m happy to get them.

  9. I rescued a very large one that jumped off a picnic table into a trash can then couldn’t get out! Not sure if he or she was gay. I didn’t ask.

  10. I hope the gay ones are cuter, because the ones here in Texas (as you well know) are BUTT UGLY! I think all the adorable ones live in Australia.

  11. I once saw a friend’s great big dog stand stock still as a little yappy dog walked right under him and started giving him a b job. Something about gay possums reminded me of that…

  12. All possums are named Jerry. We love Jerry because he eats the grubs. My cat parties with Jerry and Patricia the skunk.

  13. Greetings from Australia, where we have several kinds of possums. The insanely cute ringtail, who is a tiny and true child of the fairy forest, gorgeous and sweet. My dog rescues ringtails in storms and brings them in his mouth to me for rescuing, and they just stare up at you, their eyes filled with true soulful love. And then his little ringtail world is invaded by the New Zealand import, the brushtail, which has gone feral here. NZ people are lovely but even they don’t like them, they make them into hats. Over here, they’re also a pest (the brushtails, not the lovely NZ bipeds, whom we do not make into hats). Brushtails are the size of a raccoon, they stomp at night on our roof with boots i’ve never found any evidence of but know with absolute confidence to exist (doc martens in insouciant black ofc) and make gothic and horrific rutting sex noises in the forest that make the Blair Witch Project seem like Barbie Goes Camping.

  15. Opossum or possum? I’ve never known! Where I’m from, they’re opossums but I’ve heard possum enough to question myself.

  16. I really have no objection if a possum wants to turn me gay. I’ve often thought that if I’d married a woman she would be much more likely to pick up socks and wash dishes and maybe make me some dinner when I had to work late. I mean, I love my husband, but I’m pretty sure if I could go back in time I could have found a nice wife and we could have worked the rest out.

  18. That’s a great way to find some levity in life. Sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of humor to lift your spirits. It’s inspiring to see you find joy in the simple things, like a cute animal video. Keep your head up and keep creating!

  20. Opossums are seriously underrated creatures! While they might not win a cuteness contest for everyone, they play a vital role in many ecosystems.

  22. Pictures of gay possums, and I’m like, “No, girl. You’re doing great.” And I love them so much.
