'Normal and natural': Scientists admit the animal kingdom is a lot gayer than they thought
Upworthy ^ | 6/22/2024 | Tod Perry

Posted on 06/24/2024 2:26:31 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

...science has slowly been striking down the idea that homosexuality is unnatural by proving that it’s seen across countless species, from bonobo monkeys to black swans to fruit flies. A landmark 2019 research paper found that over 1500 species of animals exhibit homosexual behavior.

A new report published on June 20, 2024, in the journal PLOSOne shows that same-sex sexual behavior in the animal kingdom is much more prevalent than previously documented. The big reason is that researchers have been underreporting their observations.

The "journal" PLOSOne, that published this "study" a week ago, appears to be a "publish for hire" outfit...based in... wait for it...SAN FRANCISCO.

Yep, a San Francisco publication just happened to find "scientists" who claim all animals practice perversion.

And--get this--local Miami Florida media is breathlessly reporting these results as undisputed fact.

Put aside the obvious here. Human beings should be BETTER than animals. To equivocate that animals are randomly homosexual is like saying to your mom, “but the cool kids are doing it!”

We are not monkeys, birds or fruit flies. We were made in God's image, they weren't!

I SMH at the swarmy, homosexual lean or outright lies scientific papers the devils advocates put on the msm. Satan not only is driving the bus, 1/2 the passengers are his demons. And Christians are forced to ride in the back and be quiet, lest they offend one or more of the demons.

same-sex sexual behavior in the animal kingdom

Not this crap again...

Aberrations occur everywhere...it does not make it natural or normal. A rabbit humping a stump is not exhibiting some wood fetish...

Lol. Your dog has a kink for stuffed animals.. That’s why I’m careful when I visit my BIL. His dog is a freak about stuffed animals too. Don’t touch nothing. Just be glad it’s not a pit bull loving on your leg or on a small child.

Humans are often not as good as other species. I don’t see squirrels out on weekends killing each other.

As Eric Weinstein says, when science is invaded by political and/or social biases, it is dead. And that's the current state of science in America and the world.

Bias makes the scientific method impossible. The truth is hard enough to find without preconceived notions and preferences about what you want to discover.

Are we looking to animal behavior now as a model for human behavior? Wouldn’t be the first time a feminist has referenced the Black Widow spider or Praying Mantis as examples for mating rituals I bet. Another case in point for the decline-in-morals argument about human behavior.

Squirrels do kill eachother, they will even eat eachother.

Many animals eat their young.

Animals do all kinds of things.
It’s not an excuse for higher lifeforms made in the image of GOD.

PLOSOne is an open access, online publication site. It apparently has some credible articles and also some non-credible articles. This article is non-credible. Animals don’t have same sex relationships as humans do. It’s actually unnatural for animals to not follow their reproductive instincts.

This puff piece makes a fatal error in logic.

Human beings are not animals.

These days it is getting more difficult to find human beings who do not act like animals.

Sodomites will seek whatever means they can to justify their perversion, and also to justify their establishment of power over the rest of society.

Homosexual animals comprise between 5 and 10% of the population.As a majority, heterosexuals simply need to keep them from seizing political power within our various institutional hierarchies.

Human beings who act as animals need to be pitied, but not humored and accepted as if they did not act like animals.Homosexuals should simply keep their sexuality to themsleves and get on with life instead of smearing society with their aggression and justification for their perversions.

Leave the majority of us alone to pursue happiness and have children, family in the lives we freely chose.

Read the story of Lot and Sodom carefully. The homosexuals of Sodom had taken over the streets and demanded to have sex with two angels who God had sent to Earth.They controlled society and had completely debauched it, making human beings into animals.That's why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.

Do not give or allow Sodomites power over normal human beings. Sodomites, stay out of our faces.

It’s a gay, gay world

He’s gay, you’re gay, I’m gay

Hey, hey, we’re all gay

Gay, gay, gay - 24 hours a day.

The birds are gay, the bees are gay, the trees are gay.

It’s a gay, gay world and you ain’t got no say.

So human beings should imitate animals? This is a new one on me. I can remember when acting like an animal was a negative.

The parallels could involve the hunt and violent death of prey, but what the heck, let’s just keep it delusionally gay.

I’ve worked with animals all my life (both zoological parks and farms), and hold several degrees in animal biology.

Articles like this one just make me roll my eyes because in the end, it’s anthropomorphising (i.e. putting human characteristics and/or justifications onto animal behaviour). Yes, plenty of animal species DO engage in sexual behaviour that humans consider abnormal and/or “deviant” from time to time.

There are many possible reasons for this. However, to continue to write and publish articles making the suggestion that this is somehow reflective of an “orientation” or a “preference” is speculation, at best. At worst, all it does is reveal the the writer’s own agenda.

It’s called “pseudo-science” for a reason, after all...
