I have a labrador, and he is always humping males, and ignoring females. He is 5 yrs old, and is very babyish and he looks gay too, people mistake him as a girl.

the humping is a dominance performance, not a gay one

First of all is he neutered, if not get him done. Second this is
not about sex it is a dominance issue and is proving he is top
dog over the others, if the bottom is excepting this than he is
submitting to the top one then there will be no fight. If he trys it
on a dominant dog then chances are there would be a fight amongst the two for dominance.

Your dog is lacking in socialization skills. He needs to be with dogs more often. He does not know how to be with other dogs except to try to dominate them.
Making himself the "boss" is an instinct he knows, so he goes with that first. Having more time with dogs while taking walks and having structured playtime with people will help him.

There is video evidence of some animal engaging in what might appear to be homosexual behavior besides the dominance hump. I think one of the species were some apes called bonobos.

According to Animal Planet all animals have the chance of being same sex attracted -gay. You see it especially in geese and other birds. Also in some split hoof animals.
If you had him neutered young this would also effect how he acts

Doesn't this answer your question? Of course dogs can be gay.
Any animal can be. I've seen males humping males around other dogs who were in the process of breeding with bitches. Same thing with cows on the farm. I've seen it all my life.

She does this because she is a dominate female she is not gay, she is letting them know who is boss, so to speak

Dogs don't have the hang-ups that humans have.Their motto is "If it feels good do it".

You can't be serious..
I "wasn't" implying that I agreed with the question! I can't believe that someone actually asked that..
Perhaps if they actually took the time to know more about the animals that want to share their life with..
Humans are always assuming..
