Remember at this time last year when a mom blogger wrote about her son dressing as Daphne for Halloween in a post she titled My Son Is Not Gay.
And how that post caused all kinds of controversy, received thousands of comments and even landed her front and center on MSNBC?
And how we all wished we had come up with that costume and post title FIRST because who knew calling your son gay in a catchy title and then defending his choice to cross dress for Halloween could go viral!?!
WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT!?!
Well I didn’t have to.
This year I ran into the EXACT same problem.
My dog is gay.
Our Shih-Tzu, Jack, wanted to be Daphne for Halloween too, and you’ll never guess how the mothers at the dog park reacted when they saw my adorable dog in his costume.
Please watch this dramatic reenactment of the Nerdy Apple Bottoms post and share our story:

Okay I was snickering through most of it (because I’ve read the original blog post and I happen to love satire and spoofs) and then the line “marry a cat” came up and I busted a gut laughing so hard.
Absolutely love you for this post!
Seriously–WHY have you not been on Ellen yet? You REALLY need to be on TV.
Instant classic. Well done.
I completely agree, Sara! Mama Kat is just too awesome.
-MM
I’m over Ellen. She’s ignored our Mama for long enough. I want a Mama Kat talk show, hosted by 5 of her personalities. And, I want it bad.
I’d watch.
The side profile of little Jack will always make me bust up laughing.
And then you started spinning him around in the air.
Freaking hilarious.
SOOOO worth the wait. I LOVED this.
As the mother of the kid who wears the pink hoodie and hat this really cracked me up. I remember the “Daphane issue” from last year. As I was watching the video the pink-hoodie son came in and watched over my shoulder ( oh for some privacy).. and watched.. his quote.. “She can’t MAKE her dog gay anymore than she can make him be a tree, if he is gay he is gay.. and if he is she really should get him a nicer wig”
~~spew drink on screen~~

LOL smart boy :)
You. Are. A. Riot.
SO funny. I hope this goes viral.
Bwahahaha. hilarious
way to be inclusive ;p
I’m so glad someone else has this issue. My dog is not really “gay” rather, he loves everyone and people judge him for that. Just because he loves all doesn’t make him strange! lol
I’m happy to find someone else out there who is having as much with her dog as I am. I’m just afraid to put stuff out on my blog for fear of being Baker acted! ;-)
OMG!
I’m so proud that you are willing to accept your dog just the way he is! Good for you.
(So very funny. Why hasn’t Ellen returned your emails?)
Lolz!! That made me laugh so hard I snorted a couple times… Looking forward to more posts! Thanks Mama! =)
Oh.My.Goodness. Thanks for the laugh! You are amazing!
Good for you accepting your dog just the way he is!
To funny! you really should have been on ellen by now.
I love this. I loved the original post and it is great that you brought it out for us to see again with a cute twist.
My dog wishes she could be as brave as your dog. She is sitting, staring at the oh-so-safe-from-redicule monkey costume right now.
Hah!!!! Just like the two dogs in “Legally Blonde” (2) !
Way to work that wig Jack! Love this!
When you started spinning him in the air I thought I was going to fall out of my desk chair laughing. If I lose my job it is totally your fault.
I just almost RUINED my MacBookPro from coffee spray. LOL!!!!!!!!!
My dog is gay too! Thanks for standing up for his rights… Those other dog “mothers” should be ashamed. LOL! You are a riot.
LOVE IT!! LMAO!
OK, this is now my favorite Mama Kat post ever. The House of Mouse stuff was hard to top, but you’ve done it. And I want to personally request that Jack be including in ALL future vlogs, no matter the topic – he’s just that cute.
The twirling with the camera!? Outstanding. Hope this goes viral my dear, you are the best dog mama evahh.
signed -Kat
Mommy to a gay beagle that is still in the closet. {We’re working on it}
I really needed that and simply didn’t know. Love.
Your dog makes an amazing Daphne.
Love it.
I wish Jack and Jamaica could go trick or treating together! They would be a major hit! Jamaica is going to be a leaf pile. All she has to do is go outside, walk through the leaves and she is in full costume.
And why aren’t you on television yet?! Seriously!!! You need someone to pitch you to 30 Rock, the building not the show!
I bet Animal Planet will be on the phone with you by the end of the week.
I just love how your mind works! I wish you viralness!
I wasn’t into the blogging world this time last year so I didn’t know about the original “My Son is Gay” post, but I went back and read it. And THEN I watched the video. Freakin’ GE.NIUS! Voice inflections were perfect for the content. It was a work of beautiful comedy art.
Why is it that you are not a world famous blogger/vlogger that millions of people flock too and get paid gallions of dollars?
Why?
Why?
Why?
(PS LOVE YOU!)
Stand Strong and be Loud Gay Doggie. :)
OMG! So I’ve recently watched this video and the pampering video and just have to say…you are frickin’ hilarious. I have been following for the writing prompts and bypassing the videos. Ahhh, yeah big mistake! Funny stuff…keep it up!
Oops, I think I posted with a crazy website address last time…sorry!
Free to be you and me. I support Jack. And you for President.
There’s nothing like a pet guardian’s unconditional love.
This is amazing! I hope this goes viral! ;)
If you’ve ever seen Legally Blonde 2 they even talk about gay dogs.
Character in dog salon: “Your dogs are GAY!”
Fricken hilarious. And so is this. The haters need to be peed on like they’re a fire hydrant.
Is that a closet I see behind your dog that he just came out of?
Thought so.
Totally just spit out my Dr. Pepper laughing…..you owe me a Dr. Pepper now…
Love that – so damn much!! LOL.
Ba Ha ha I love it. You’re a hilarious. Too too cute. So glad I found you through “Making it work MOM”.
This was incredibly funny. I too remember last year’s Daphne costume story. In fact, if you visit the Nerdy Apple Bottom blog this year, you’ll see her son wearing all sorts of costumes, including Wonder Woman and a rather cute sock hop outfit. Anyway, I support your dog’s decision and yours for backing him up. I hope you land a spot on the Today Show.
Glad to have discovered you through Saucy Bitch’s blog.
I don’t know…he kind of looks like he’s saying, ” Mom, for God’s sake stop filming me like this!” Hysterical!
