Sexuality expert says animals can be homosexual.

Animals and Humans become equal when they are homosexuals...correct me if im wrong, but that is what i see in this picture... lol... sarc//

[MplsSteve]

I have discussed this matter with Buford, my 8-yr old brown tabby.

Buford is far too lazy or pre-occupied with food and looking out windows to take any interest in homosexual activities with other cats.

He told me that he is indifferently straight. I have to trust him. I don't think he's lied to me before.

But then again, he is a cat. As the old saying goes "If cats could talk, they would lie to you".

I've had pet rats before. It's dominance behaviour, for crying out loud!

[dfwgator]

"SUPER!"

[metmom]

Well, if they want to associate homosexual behavior in humans with animalistic behavior, who am I to argue? That's what I always thought anyway.

That some would rely upon animals to 'teach humans' anything betrays their fundamental lack of any moorings, or for that matter, of much in the way of common sense. To see this, let us first remember what animals do.

Animals, among other 'criminal' activities:

• Kill and eat members of their species, that is, they are often cannibals;
• Kill and eat some of their offspring, that is, they commit cannibalistic infanticide;
• Compete with other males for the opportunity to have sex with a particular female, often killing or debilitating the rival;
• Fight with and exile or kill the 'owner' of a 'harem,' kill his 'children,' and then raise other children with the females in the harem (the females show no 'loyalty' to their former .husband' and blithely have sex with the new guy).
• Discriminate against and kill .aliens' to their particular territory or tribe;
• Often have sex with some of their offspring;
• Often have sex with relatives and near-relatives (from a human perspective, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, grandparents, etc.), in other words, they commit incest;
• Let the males just about always get their way (e.g., eat first, win any spats)
• Often allow large groups of males to have sex with a female, even leaving her near-dead or even dead, that is, they engage in 'gang rape;' and
• Often allow one male to hog all the females in a given area, driving away his 'sons' and his 'friends' who would like a little sexual 'pleasure' with the 'girls.'

None of these activities inform how we regard cannibalism, murder, gang rape, marriage, the rightful place of the sexes, or incest. What happens in the animal kingdom is irrelevant to what occurs in the human realm.

...

Humans are different from animals in countless ways. Humans speak, write, have a sense of personal history and the history of their culture (and often of other cultures as well). They think about and plan for the future, have theories about what makes the world tick (e.g., believe in God, Evolution, or alien visitors), and devise schemes of how the world 'should be' (e.g., have legal systems and cultural ideals 'everyone is equal', only a man and a woman can be married,' etc.).

...

Humans also change the world in innumerable ways (build roads, buildings bridges, tunnels), and manipulate the earth for food and entertainment (e.g., horticulture, husbandry, planetary exploration). Animals, as near as we can determine, do none of these things. Even when they 'use tools' (like sticks or rocks), animals display only rudimentary skill at the enterprise.Source

If we arbitrarily pick which animal behaviors to value, then any such study from which we get insights for human behavior is a complete waste of time.

Although dogs hump legs...there's no reason for people to do it.

"Sexuality expert says animals can be homosexual"


... and Black widow female spiders eat their mates after sex ... their point is?

[ClearBlueSky]

My Maltipoo puppy is carrying on a hot love affair with my moose slipper. What does that make him?

[onedoug]

Homosexual death cult.

[Dallas59]

Animal sex is not human sex. Humans know what they are mating and the consequences of that mating. Case closed.

[Wil H]

Some animals eat their own feces, or sniff each other's anuses...

... doesn't justify it as a human behavior..

[Jaysun]

Animals have been known to eat feces too. Are the "scat" people going to claim to have been born that way now?

[isom35]

I think poodles are gay.

[opinionator]

Just because they're born that way doesn't make it normal.

[bpjam]

When I see evidence that these animals start moving to San Francisco on their own, I'll know its true. Until then, its just wishing thinking (or beastiality, depending on how they are conducting their studies)

[Mr. Brightside]

What sexual orientation is my dog?

[Neoliberalnot]

The message here is; if animals do it then we should follow suit. After all, we are just animals too. When will the interspecies folks come out of the closet so we can add another B to GLBT group? And what about I for incest and P for pedophile, and N for necrophiliac. I challenge any to make a word out of all these new letters. GLBTBIPN

The Animal Homosexuality Myth

"Terry found a bone underneath her pillow, a sign of affection"

That trick works all of the time...not as messy as trying the old movie theater trick with the hole in the popcorn bucket.
