[Telepathic Intruder]

"research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behavior".

In captivity, but not in the wild. Captivity is hardly a natural environment. There are no examples of animals which actually prefer their own sex over the opposite one.

I read a study debunking the gay animals claim, I just wish I could find it again. But from I what I read in the rare instances when homosexuality happens amongst animals it’s normally due to misidentification.

[The Bishop]

Much of this observed behavior has nothing to do with homosexuality. It is the dominance that they are asserting. When a Male Hippo defeats the old bull he bites his tail off, should I call that cunnilingus or fellatio of some sort? When the Old Bull has surrendered the challenger mounts him to further humiliate him, is this the homosexual behavior that’s spoken of? Bear in mind the reason the conflict begins is the desire of the young bull to mate with the cows in the pod.

Actually, not true. Try penguins.
