Pull Quote:

On the other hand, female-female homosexuality appears to have a separate set of motivations, and deserves a whole separate analysis, Scharf said. In general, female-female interactions seem more intentional than male-male interactions. In fact, one study found that certain female beetles mount each other to look larger and attract more male mates.

They are too drunk to tell the difference.

Sort of like Bill Clinton, no?

Because their brains operate more akin to simple computers in modern robots than actually thinking.

Well, I’ve opined that some liberals have the brains of cockroaches, so I guess life sometimes imitates art. Or something.

most of these encounters occurred as accidents

Wow, that's a real shocker right there.

In simple terms, sexual intercourse is an innate habit designed to produce offspring and perpetuate the species. Homosexual intercourse (sodomy) does not produce offspring, and is therefore unnatural. There is no purpose in nature for homosexual activity, except for self gratification.

I dread to imagine the proposed new entomological anti-homobuggery laws as soon as the first congressional Democrat finds out about this study. First and foremost there will be NO spraying of insecticide if there is the least possibility one of the endangered gaysects could be affected-and it will only go downhill from there.

A father was recently watching his daughter play in the garden. A smile appeared on his face as he reflected on the sweet and innocent appearance little children often possess.

Suddenly, his daughter stopped playing and began to stare intensely at the ground. Curious, he walked over to her and noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.

“Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?” she asked.

“They’re mating,” her father replied.

“What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?” she asked.

“That’s a Daddy Longlegs.”

“So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?”

“No,” her father replied. “Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.”

The little girl thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat. “Well, we’re not having any of that in our garden.”

So its an accident, not an orientation. Statists would like us to start comparing ourselves to insects because that’s all we are to them. Yahoo news should now be called homosexual news.

I really doubt that female beetles are consciously thinking “Oh if I get on another female beetle then the guys will come after me more”. It is probably simple. Where there are two females the pheromones will be stronger drawing more male beetles. I wish scientists would not ascribe intent to creatures that are mostly instinctual. However this affirms once again that when homosexuality occurs in nature it is usually to encourage heterosexual mating not produce life long homosexual and thus genetically dead end relationships. Alpha male primates sometimes force smaller males to submit to being mounted as a way of forcing them into a submissive role and deny them access to females. This could explain why young men who are sexually abused have a higher tendency towards homosexuality and other extra-heterosexual sexual behaviors.

Homosexuality is just not very smart. Incidental homosexuality such as found in constrained environments like prisons and boarding schools is one thing but life long homosexual commitments are the most damaging to an organism because they arrest sexual maturation and reproduction. Gay males are several degrees of magnitude more promiscuous than their heterosexual counterparts which I believe stems from the arrested sexual maturation. Also I wouldn’t be surprised to find that levels of oxytocin and vasopressin are out of whack and some studies have found exactly that in victims of sexual abuse.

The whole gay thing is not single faceted but ultimately in human beings we can be more than our desires and choose not to act on them or find ways to express ourselves sexually in ways that may not align with our every fantasy but are still fulfilling.

BTW In Fruit flies gayness can be turned off and on with drugs.

Anyone who has ever worked with animals knows that animals do not use sight for breeding purposes. When an female animal goes into estrus she releases a scent that brings the males of that species.

Now, how do human males release such a scent to bring on the other males? They don’t! How do human females release a scent to bring other females? They don’t.

Only humans use sight. If they used smell then PLAYBOY would only have to place a scratch and sniff card for a centerfold.

Yeah....as we all know, insects obsess about their sexual orientation.

Honestly, who is the mental midget that writes these things?

Easy answer. It’s pack dominance behavior.
