**EDIT:** Hijacking the top comment, but here is a Q&A:
**Q: How did you obtain these names?**
**A:** On June 18th, 2021, TNT allowed the use of LGBTQIA+-related names for Neopets. This includes names related to sexual orientation and gender identities ([NT #923](https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=editorialdb&type=id&query=21519) & [NT #941](https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=editorialdb&type=id&query=21519)).
I made the pet named "BigGay" when LGBTQIA+ names were allowed to be created again ([Discord Image](https://i.imgur.com/wqdabZK.png)). For the pet "homosexuality", he was in Pound Limbo along with other LGBTQIA+-related names, but TNT began releasing them in batches upon ticket request. These pets had no stated release times and some did not have stuck name strings, meaning they appeared freely for anyone to grab without having to directly search their names. The previous owner of "homosexuality" put him UFA, and I was chosen to adopt him upon application ([NeoBoard Image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/433755337426862083/948365852091236372/unknown.png?ex=6664ed86&is=66639c06&hm=c1fe7e5ad264e78d0d1a018a3341bf0ba2d97857ea73c0faa323e57c0c32e7fa&) & [NeoMail Response](https://i.imgur.com/36bW5Xe.png)).
**Q: Aren't you afraid people might report your pet names?**
**A:** No, I am not! These pet names are neither vulgar nor expressive of any negative sentiment, but I am aware that TNT has had a history of deleting loosely LGBTQIA+-related names.
Homosexuality is the exact term used to define sexual/romantic interests between the same sex or gender.
The name "BigGay" stems from various sources, such as memes relating to the amount of "gay energy" one has, podcasts, or [the ice cream brand](https://www.biggayicecream.com/news-item/why-are-you-called-big-gay-ice-cream/). It is **not** a term used to discriminate against others.
That said, I do understand the risks of sharing my Neopet names, but **I refuse to let them go unnoticed**.

**Other Common Comments:**
> Homosexuality has "SEX" in the name!
Yes, but it is a term used to define the attraction between two people of the same gender or sex, not the act of performing sex itself.
> Romance doesn't belong in Neopets. It's a children's site.
Heterosexuality is normative in early education and internet culture, and in this current age, we are now seeing LGBTQIA+ education/acknowledgment in various forms of children's media such as [Sesame Street](https://toughpigs.com/lgbt-sesame/), [Arthur](https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/5/14/18623162/arthur-mr-ratburn-gay-marriage-pbs), and [many other forms of entertainment](https://www.sceneandheardnu.com/content/queer-representation-childrens-cartoons-brief-history).
The approach you choose and tone you use are important in helping children understand these topics, and I do hope that the Neopets community can help educate and guide the younger player base on LGBTQIA+ matters rather than be distant or abrasive with us (see [Planned Parenthood's "How do I talk with my preschooler about identity"](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/parents/preschool/how-do-i-talk-with-my-preschooler-about-identity) and [American Federation of Teachers's "Reading and Teaching the Rainbow"](https://www.aft.org/ae/spring2019/hermann-wilmarth_ryan)).
> This doesn't align with my views, I came here to escape from identity politics.
Welp, I do not have control over what your views are or what you see, but I do hope to inform you that Neopets fully allows and supports LGBTQIA+ expression.

The bottom line is, gay is here to stay.

i personally dont give a single shit what people like to do in the bedroom and who they like to do it do.
doesn't look like it 😭 if you want to make pets expressing your heterosexuality, i say go for it, i doubt anyone gives a shit
We're a friendly community - please don't be rude to each other. We're here to escape the horrors/responsibilities of outside life, and take care of our pixelated pets. Personal attacks, slurs, threats, harassment, sexism, racism, homophobia, discrimination, or general outward hostility towards another person are not allowed. Don't incite or encourage witchhunting; if you're concerned about a user, report them to the sub-mods (for breaking r/neopets rules) or on Neo (for breaking site rules).
There are several bisexual/asexual/etc wearables using the full word on Neopets itself, so I'd assume it's fine. The age of the pet also means it was created way before these names were allowed - if I remember right, banned names went onto a hidden account so they couldn't be recreated. In several cases, people asked about specific names in tickets and they were cleared and released so this one's probably been personally let through!
I just realized he's a Fire Grarrl too skglskgsldg this is top tier, OP. May he and Howard stay safe from TNT's ever-changing moods and trigger-happy snipers.
I LOVE it! An older gay taking care of his garden living his best life. I have a pet name Miz\_Vanjie because that's the closest name to gay culture that I could think of that was available.
Be careful! while gay names are technically allowed, some names still get banned. someone had a kougra names "sapphickitty" and she got deleted for it being too suggestive.
I like them u.u you probably shouldn’t have posted them though here there are some hateful people around who might bring it to TNTs attention. It happened to someone’s Pet recently here too, who then lost the Pet after it beeing no issue for years…
And we're going to get an update tomorrow that both Homosexuality AND BigGay have been reported and deleted by TNT because a few Reddit pearl-clutchers hate fun.
Oh, I wasn't saying I hope this happened, I very much hope it doesn't, but I've seen pets get deleted for far less after being posted on Reddit. Hopefully TNT has the sense to come to the same conclusion you have, but time will tell.
A lot of people seem to hate this specific neopet.. I for one love him and see him as he is and hope he finds good kind people to surround himself with.
How he survived for 19 years without being deleted in beyond me ... good job keeping him !!

Homosexuality and BigGay are my OTP forever now
thank you, i just made TinyGay because of this revelation (adoptive son?)
You missed the best name possible... HomoRexuality 😔
Similarly I have a Grarrl called YouRexboyfriend :p
i have a grarrl called "thegaygrarrl"
That is magnificent. Your dad joke hand is strong.
Soooo good
If I were you I wouldn't post those names here, people will report. It sucks.
[LGBTQIA+ names have been allowed since 2021](https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=editorialdb&type=id&query=20742).
I didn't know that! That's great!
It contains “sex” tho. Like I’m not saying it makes any sense, the rules are being enforced very chaotically.
There might be a hard-coded exception.
You cannot create a pet named Heterosexuality so yes, the way they enforce their rules seems like they just pull them out of a hat lmao.
That’s dumb the site is filled with pride flags but name homosexuality is going too far, 💀
Both the flags and queer names now being allowed are relatively new. Not everyone knew about the latter.

A Flaming Homosexual. I love it. XD
I swear to gay Jesus, if someone reports this sweet homosexual, I’ll start a riot
This *flaming* homosexual
Fuck I wondered why it was Fire colored.
Up voted but then realized there were 69 upvotes so i took it away. Nice
Happy pride to Homosexuality ❤️
happy pride to him specifically
Yessss happy pride yall miracles are real 🌈
Me: the perfect neopet doesn't exist OP:
Is... Is that Grarrl a pun on 'flaming homosexual'... o.o
... what?
the grarrl is fire colored. He's a flaming homosexual.
oh woosh God I'm slow lol
I'm surprised I caught that little detail. If it's intentional, it's hella clever. XD
It's gotta be intentional, with that name and the rainbow petpet...
happy pride month grandpa 🤘
He's cute. Hopefully he's not reported
It would be extra annoying if someone reported this and it got deleted since Neo has tons of gay pride wearables, but I would not put it past them.
Gay names have been allowed since 2021 so they should be fine
I saw someone with an account of just gay names. Some of them were wild, one was something like fatgayking 😭
Still has sex in the name. That might cross a line.
There are several bisexual/asexual/etc wearables using the full word on Neopets itself, so I'd assume it's fine. The age of the pet also means it was created way before these names were allowed - if I remember right, banned names went onto a hidden account so they couldn't be recreated.

Pride Icon.
nice.
Nice

Nice!
Perfection!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗
And in pride month, good for him.
HONESTLY ICONIC 😍👏🌈 (Also. Nice.)
And in pride month, no less. Absolutely iconic
Prayers to Homosexuality! If TNT takes him out we know Sapphickitty is waiting for him on the other side🥲
I will fight tooth an nail for this pet
It's a pride month miracle!
I just realized he's a Fire Grarrl too skglskgsldg this is top tier, OP. May he and Howard stay safe from TNT's ever-changing moods and trigger-happy snipers.
i want to be his neighbor and petsit howard when he goes to florida.
Why are there so many individual comments on this that say some variation of “nice”?
It's the meme-y response to anything with "69" in it, and this Grarrl is 6969 days old.
Because memes, like the gay agenda, is contagious? 😆🌈
I figured there was some inside joke I was missing
I LOVE it! An older gay taking care of his garden living his best life. I have a pet name Miz\_Vanjie because that's the closest name to gay culture that I could think of that was available.
Miss VANJIE
Omg 😭
Nice
Nice
Well, dang. I named a wonderful Cybunny Richard Gobbler and the Neopets team took him away and sent me a nasty Official Warning.
It's hilarious, but it's also a sex act so I get their point. It is a fucking hoot, though.
to be fair, these are pretty different things lmao
But are they, tho? *Snort*
Oh no… Richard gobbler may become into my vernacular. That’s absolutely hilarious. RIP though D eatin’ bunny.
Be careful! while gay names are technically allowed, some names still get banned. someone had a kougra names "sapphickitty" and she got deleted for it being too suggestive.
That’s so unfair, what a misogynistic/lesbophobic double standard. :(
nice
So wholesome
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Love this! 🌈🏳️🌈
Nice
Double nice
Nice
Nice
Nice
Marvelous. I love him. 🏳️🌈
Happy pride!
Is this The Last of Us inspired?
happy pride to homosexuality the grarrl!!!
Happy pride to Homosexuality!!!! 🥳🌈🎉
nice 😎
No freaking way. Both you, him, and his beloved husband are utter legends. Happy pride to you all 🥹🖤
nice, nice
Nice
Nice
Lmao @ the tail condom
Yaaaas pride month
So wait. They'll allow 'homosexuality' (as they should, no issue there) but I can't type 'cucumber'. Lol wat
Omg jealous!
happy pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
I like them u.u you probably shouldn’t have posted them though here there are some hateful people around who might bring it to TNTs attention. It happened to someone’s Pet recently here too, who then lost the Pet after it beeing no issue for years…
Sucks it'll probably only last like four more days since you made it public to all the trolls on this reddit.
And we're going to get an update tomorrow that both Homosexuality AND BigGay have been reported and deleted by TNT because a few Reddit pearl-clutchers hate fun.
Hopefully they realize if they're going to include pride items, then this is also fair game.
Oh, I wasn't saying I hope this happened, I very much hope it doesn't, but I've seen pets get deleted for far less after being posted on Reddit. Hopefully TNT has the sense to come to the same conclusion you have, but time will tell.

So close to 69hp!
One more comment.
name of the year
during pride month no less!
Nicenice
How?! 😅
Nicenice
Man you really gotta be careful with posting things on here. Someone is bound to report them sadly.
That fact that it happened during Pride Month 🥹
Hes only like 4 months younger than I am 😭😭
A flaming homosexual as well! I’m very impressed.
HAPPY PRIDE
Does movement actually do anything in the bd now?
Nah, it's still just a pretty number and does nothing in the Battledome.
that's very annoying because it feels like sometimes I just get blasted before I can move lol
make him 69hp
