Hunting Unicorns

Product Information

An animal called the re'em ( Hebrew: רְאֵם) is mentioned in several places in the Hebrew Bible, often as a metaphor representing strength. The allusions to the re'em as a wild, untamable animal of great strength and agility, with mighty horn or horns [42] best fit the aurochs ( Bos primigenius); this view is further supported by the Assyrian cognate word rimu, which is often used as a metaphor of strength, and is depicted as a powerful, fierce, wild mountain bull with large horns. [43] This animal was often depicted in ancient Mesopotamian art in profile, with only one horn visible. [44] The unicorn is an imaginary animal that lives in a world of myths and legends. [40] Queer people, whose existence seems to blur the lines between societal norms of masculinity and femininity, may feel like they don't fully belong in this world. It explains their interests in mythical creatures such as unicorns, mermaids, and fairies. [41] [38]

There is no consensus on how the unicorn became a gay icon. [37] Alice Fisher, an editor of Observer Design magazine, notes that the values of a unicorn – as rare and magical – have resulted in the word being used with various connotations. However, she argues that the Victorian association between rainbows and unicorns has resulted in unicorns becoming a queer icon. [39] Wilson, Samuel M.
