Even in the wild, same sex animals do not mate, why can't homosexuals take a cue from this?

Question

Nature itself shows that same sex mating is wrong e.g. a lioness does not mate with a fellow lioness.
This is a natural law that is respected even in the wild., why can't humans respect this natural law.

Answer 1

Sure they do.. you haven't done much research on this have you. Check into monkeys. I am not pro-homosexuality.. but I have watched documentaries where same sex animals try to mate.

Answer 2

My reply is to something Freestyle (first answerer) wrote.

Being gay is not a 'white' thing. Its very much prevalent in India. Its not talked about because of the shame and stigma attached with it.

The same thing does not confine Caucasian/ African and other races settled in the Western belt, who therefore feel more encouraged to 'come out of the closet' (thats where the phrase comes from).

However, in more traditional/ religious cultures found elsewhere (including Asia and the Middle East), this is suppressed, with gays even getting married, starting families rather than coming out in the open, and ruining a third, innocent person's life.

They sometimes even keeping a gay lover or visit gay bars, thereby hiding a big secret.

Which, I think, is worse.

PS I am not pro- or anti- gay, I jus take exception to such a stupid comment.

Answer 3

Yeah mate, it shows a complete lack of uderstanding and/or observation. We had ducks and drakes( and a gander), and the gander had this thing for the drake, Whom would be compliant and then mate profusely with the ducks. They sorted their own little problems out and seemed none the worse for the experience.
I personally am not interested in bot bot but dont care too much if other people are (with like minded and concenting adult paticipants).

Answer 4

Well, first, you are wrong. Dogs and cats and dolphins and just about every other critter with a spinal chord has shown itself capable of homosexual relationships. So no "natural law" exists.
And what the heck is your issue anyway? These poor fags won't be reproducing, so why worry yourself over their behavior indoors? Does it worry you because of the loss of a potential partner, or are you just terrified that you might be one?
Let it be. Worry about the insane militarism of Dubya Bush if you want to cringe in your bed.

Answer 5

If you do some research you will see that your statement is untrue. There are hundreds of animals that have been documented as having homosexual tendacies and some that refuse to have sex with the opposite sex.

Answer 6

That is not true, several breeds of animals do act homosexual, there are monkeys that do, watch the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet for those type of documentaries and you will see the truth.

Answer 7

Your wrong about that ....

"JERUSALEM -- The London newspaper The Independent reports that a pair of gay vultures at
the Jersualem Zoo have shown the world just how talented and caring gay adoptive parents can be."

..

"As an experiment, Israeli zoologist Shmuel Yidov took a day-old vulture chick that had been hatched in an incubator, inserted it carefully inside a swan's egg and slipped it into the nest. Fooled, the pair took turns to sit on it and warm it until it hatched again."

"Dashik and Yehuda then reared their baby. 'They did a great job,' said a spokeswoman for the zoo,,Sigalit Dvir. 'They shaded him on hot days, they brought him water from a pond, they fed him, they stopped him falling from the nest.'"

There's more, but you'll have to go to the web site to read it.

Another one is chimpanzees. Bisexuality is the norm among male chimps (check out Jane Goodall's books). Effectively a male chimp forms a long-term partnership with another male (which includes sex at times). WHen the higher-ranking of the pair challenges for leadership of the troupe, the backing of sidekick is essential. If successful, they then become nos 1 and 2 respectively in the pecking order of the troupe for access to the females, as well as food etc. But their closest relationship is with each other.

This *may be one reason why many male humans have gay or bisexual tendencies - inherited over 5 million years ?

National Geographic special, "The New Chimpanzees" which aired September 6, 1995 - "Diverse and frequent hetero- and homosexual contact occurs among the animals. . . . Not only does homosexual behavior exist in nearly every species of every order of animal known to science (a fact demonstrated repeatedly by uncounted studies beginning with Konrad Lorenz, the father of modern zoology) but as one ascends the evolutionary ladder from less sophisticated creatures to hominids, homosexual activity increases in frequency."

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (June 1995) - Drs. Shang-Ding Zhang and Ward Odenwald of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, observed that "Reduced levels of the chemical [serotonin] in laboratory animals, such as rats, rabbits, and cats, have been linked to homosexual behaviour." [For your information, serotonin is an important protein found in virtually all higher species and its production is genetically controlled.]

Proceedings of the Society of Neuroscience (November 1994) - J.K. Graham, G.J. Bloch and Richard Mills of Brigham Young University found in studies involving rats, that sexual orientation can be determined biologically, and may even be influenced by behavior of pregnant rats. [For your information, Brigham Young University is not exactly a bastion of gay rights.]

On a less scientific basis, he tour guides at the San Francisco zoo will show you geese, sea gulls, penguins, lions and some hoofed animals in homosexual relationships. The zoo has a pair of female geese that have been happily married for years. [Now you will probably argue that there must be something in the air in San Francisco.]

Perhaps we have more to learn from the "animal kingdom." After all, almost all of what human beings do is "unnatural," which does not automatically equal "immoral." No other creature drinks milk after weaning, drives cars, wears clothes, invokes a God, or writes letters to CompuServe.

They're in love. They're gay. They're penguins... And they're not alone.

Answer 8

Many animals eat their young and lick their butts too. They chase cars, eat their own poop, sniff crotches. Does that mean we should follow their example?

Also, I see male dogs hunching each other all the time.

Finally, there are penguins that show homosexual behavior.

Answer 9

Animals do mating as from their natural instinct and behavior... while we human do mating or sex for pleasure... and we choose whom will satisfy us...

Answer 10

You are soo wrong. You need to either read more about stuff before posting inaccurate info or watch more science shows.
