Eating your own young is common in the wild too. Expect the California Supreme Court to legalize it next.

Dogs eat feces but it’s not something to be emulated.

Who are these so-called SCIENCISTS? Will someone name them??

[pissant]

Dogs are happy to hump a human’s leg.

[xcamel]

aids, gay bowel syndrome, and chronic vaginitis, are unheard of in the “gay” animal world.. not to mention sapience.

[SkyDancer]

In the wild sometimes its of necessity ... male bears eat their young, female bears come together to protect the infant males .... where do these “scientists” live? In the lower east side of NYC???

Okay, so you can find examples of abnormality and unnaturalness in other species. So? That doesn’t make it right or a good thing for one guy to stick his jolly roger up another’s pooper.

Well, everyone knows penguins are gay!

[mickeylee]

"Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo, were a couple for about six years, during which they nurtured a fertilized egg together (given to them by a zookeeper) and raised the young chick that hatched."

Amazing that these "scientists" are not aware of the fact that that is how baby penguins are hatched in the wild while the mothers go out and look for food. Apparently they don't watch Animal Planet.

What is the point? Do these animals get married?

or will Chief Judge Anthony Lewis-Margaret Marshall (NYTimes, MA)
now demand that all children have an early homosexual rape
by their teachers?

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I call BS on this. It is not common for animals of the same sex to ‘pair up’. They might hang out together, but that is not the same thing and bonding with a mate and actually ‘mating’. I have watched literally hundreds of hours of nature documentaries and never has this been mentioned. Species don’t get very far by being homosexual.

[dforest]

I beg to differ, it is rampant in large metro areas.

[Lizavetta]

Animals also practice segregation. They don't mix with species not like themselves.

Is the gay mafia sure they want to go down this road?

[Anti-Bubba182]

I googled "Petter Böckman" and all I get is this gay animal story. I wonder how he takes it? Not only that but animals are subject to rut not romantic sexual desire. They could hump their own sex like a dog humps a persons leg.

If the animals don't know any better it does not provide an excuse for people.

[layman]

I’ve always suspected that penguins are basically gay. I mean ... have you ever watched them walk?

[bmwcyle]

And itss thos wild in thsan Francisssssco.

[Tallguy]

Polygamy is also natural in the sense that male animals often secure & maintain a 'harem' of females for breeding purposes. This pushes immature males to the periphery where, in some species, homosexual behavior may be observed.

Evidently these scientists haven't noticed that humans invented a little thing called 'civilization'.

[ModelBreaker]

As gay couples celebrate their newfound right to marry in California and opposition groups rally to fight the ruling, many struggle with this question: Is homosexuality natural?

This is entirely the wrong question. If our standards as humans are to be set by whatever animals do, then killing infants fathered by other men in the neighborhood should be OK. Ripping out the throat of your boss to become the new, department supervisor is OK. And, eating your husband after he has sex with you would be just fine.

Why does article have anything to do with what humans should do, as opposed to what they might want to do?
