From Salon magazine, 1999. Research into "alternative sexual behavior" among animals. Apparently, it's much more prevalent than you might think. So much for homosexuality being "unnatural."

A female ape wrapts her legs around another female, "rubbing her own clitoris against her partner's while emitting screams of enjoyment".

Whew!

How does this prove preference? It seems to me this is a disgusting and bigoted comparison of gays to the antics of animals, reducing their actions to the mere sub-human.

Actually, you're the only one drawing that comparison.

I did not draw the comparison. I just read the article, and looked at the moronic, bigoted cartoon characters.

How is this bigoted?

I obviously did not mean bigoted cartoon characters. I meant the depiction of the characters is bigoted and the suggestion made by the article is bigoted. It suggests homosexuality is comparable to the base and inconsequential actions of wild animals. It also suggest preference is inherent in the animal's actions, which is foolish.

noty to mention, the suggestion that gay humans do not have the faculties to act any differently than animals.

I still don't see this article as "bigoted." What I do see is the fact that homosexual behaviour is biologically based and, therefore, natural in the animal world (of which humans are a part). Animals have sex (het and gay) - it's natural. Humans have sex (het and gay) - it's natural.

Actually, willhelm, the article specifically disclaims such a suggestion. Read it again.

wow.

the article specifically disclaims such a suggestion.

Which says they are aware of the inherent problems with their points. Especially in terms of preference or exclusivity. It is clear what this article is attempting to do. Perhaps if they could observe these traits throughout the animal kingdom, like jellyfish, dolphins, giraffes, lions, penguins, cats.
This is actually very funny.

It also suggest preference is inherent in the animal's actions, which is foolish.

You must be a bloody GENIUS! I mean, you seem to know soo much about everything! (taste the sarcasm...)

I think I'll believe the story, I've read other similar papers (written by people who study animals for a living...) and seen documentaries on the subject that also say similar things...
