PROSPERING GAY ANIMALS: Male chinstrap penguins, such as the famous Roy and Silo of the Central Park Zoo, have paired and even cared for eggs.
Sure glad there is no gay agenda around, to turn into an obsession.....and grant money.
I was under the impression that animals only engaged in homosexual activity only if there are no other animals of the opposite sex around....
Gay animals are as real as unicorns and 3 headed tigers.
I don’t think the question should lie in a gay-straight context. As they mention some, or perhaps most, same sex pairing is for benefits outside of sex. In fact they don’t seem to mention sex at all. Looking at their definition of things it appears that you could say two human male roommates who do get an apartment together, share bills and food are gay when they obviously are not.
But... but... the Scientific Establishment[tm] has a tight-knit cabal that rigidly excludes such heretical thoughts! That's what all the creationist threads on FR say, anyway....
homosexuality can offer benefits to caring for offspring, strengthening group cohesion, quelling conflicts, establishing a hierarchy.
but it's not like a dude lion goes cruising for another dude lion. think about it. if you are a gay human male and you help raise your nieces and nephews, aren't you passing on your genetic material? of course you are since you share a fair amount with the offspring of your siblings.
Animals have URGES! So gays are comparing themselves to animals? My male dog humps my leg (I am a male) does that mean we are gay? No, it’s a PERVERTED urge...PERIOD!
Hey if you want to spin "Gay" as normal for a reason then let spin... you can play at this game many ways
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Sounds like quite the opportunity!
Note that these are not "gay animals", because they are having sex with the opposite sex and getting pregnant. They simply are living in a different social environment.
There were and still are tribes of humans where the men pretty much just get food and have sex, and the woman all live together and raise the kids and care for them. That's not "homosexual".
Homosexual is when a person only wants to have sex with the same sex. And that won't work for Evolution.
BTW, I'm surprised more animals, especially males, don't have both hetero and homosexual sex. After all, masturbation is hard without hands, and the females may not always be around, and if you have no "morality", any hole will do for sexual gratification.
It is no surprise that animals might have sex in "inappropriate" ways. They are animals, after all.
But surprisingly, most animals don't seem to be as bad on that score as humans.
What's in it for the dogs that hump stuffed dolls, furniture, and human legs?
What is the evolutionary "benefit" of j*cking off?
Scientific American has added itself the scrap pile of propaganda posing as useless infotainment.
it eliminates animals that can’t detect the opposit sex. (whether mutation or caused by a shortage of members of the opposit sex)
PING
The constant appeal to the animal world just doesn’t do much for the homosexual movement.
It always comes across as making it look like they’re saying that gays are just like animals.
>>It also gives more stability to the offspring of
>>males, already bonded to a female, who mate
>>opportunistically with females in a same-sex couple.
That’s a male with a harem, not the lesbianism the anthropomorphizing “researchers” are attempting to hang around the albatross’ neck.
Humans are MAMMALS, and, thanks to billions of years of evolution, mammals reproduce HETEROsexually.
There is absolutely no evidence that “tolerating” homosexual behavior has positive impact upon the social or biological fitness of human societies. None. Zip. Nada.
OTOH, there is historical evidence of the demise of homosexually tolerant societies - Hellenist Greece, Rome, Sodom and Gomorrah, Nazi Germany, and the USA.
Do what thou wilt is NOT the whole of the law.
