Palomo Cojo. Gay Dictionary (Spain).

What happens to the Palomo Cojo?

Palomo Cojo (lame pigeon) is, with tortillera, one of the most searched LGBT expressions on the Internet. Is an expression that has starred in books, films, festivals, radio debates, social networks, and language specialized forums. It’s often used in its extended version “Ese es más maricón que un palomo cojo” (He is more faggot than a lame pigeon), a version that gives us the clue about the origin of the expression. What happens to the lame pigeons?

Apparently, the issue is that the poor lame pigeons can’t reproduce because they need two legs to tread (mount) the dove, with only one leg cannot hold up on the dove nor perform the characteristic prior courtship of the species.

However, the latest research carried out by Moscas de Colores, through interviews with pigeon fancying competitors from Valencia (Spain), suggests that the lame pigeons are able to mount the dove and that what really happens is that the male pigeons perform intercourse with the lame male pigeons. They have also told us that in pigeon fancying competitions the pigeons that desist to courtship the dove move away limping.

The expression “Palomo Cojo” belongs to the twisted concept category with other words and expressions as the English Queer, the Spanish deviant or tortillera, the Arabic word šāḏ or the Norwegian Skeiv, all with a sense of twisted, abnormal, wasted, devious or damaged.

Besides telling us the view of homosexuality people had at the time in which it originated, “Palomo Cojo” also tells us a particular view of sexuality understood only for the purpose of procreation, but in addition with a double mistake because, for who do not know, gays are not infertile. Moreover, “non-heterosexual” men had babies (fortunately) since 200,000 years ago. Even lame! 🙂

  • Sexual Identity

    This article aims to clarify and distinguish the concept of Sexual Identity, an issue that we consider important at this time when sexual diversity, and especially the human one, is an incontrovertible fact. Not so long ago, there were only men and women, two simple, fixed, and exclusive categories that… Read more
  • g0y, not gay

    Some years ago I read an article explaining briefly what g0y men were. Even though I thought homoerotic relationships between heterosexual boys were more common than it is supposed, it surprised me. Wow! This word remained a pending entry in our LGBT Glossary until now, when the time has come… Read more
  • How many people are gay? LGBT statistics.

    How many people are gay? 1 in 10? The idea that one in ten people is homosexual is perhaps one of the most known and recurring “myths” about homosexuality.
