If you didn't know any better, you might think the rodeo was invented by a gay man. What with all the talk of barebacking, dogging bucks, and pole bending (all totally legitimate rodeo events), you can't help but wonder what goes on among the straight cowboys at the end of the day. Of course, at the gay rodeo, everyone knows what happens once the steers are back in the barn: cute men in ten-gallon hats eat big steaks, line dance, and then take the bull rope back to their hotel rooms. So if you have any interest in checking out some hot barebacking the summer (the kind that takes place with horses, people), check out the International Gay Rodeo Association's summer schedule. The animal action hits San Francisco next week and Chicago the week after. (R.S.)
