yes, silly! i know that homo sapiens belong to the animal kingdom, i am referring to the other animals excluding us.
i remember my college course when we watched a documentary about some cognitive psychologists who discovered some kind of disformity in a part of the brain of homosexuals, and that their subjects' mothers claim to have been subjected to severe stress during their pregnancies. could this be the same to the lower creatures?

Homosexual behaviour does occur in the animal kingdom, especially in social species, particularly in marine birds and mammals, monkeys and the great apes. Homosexual behaviour has been observed among 1,500 species, and in 500 of those it is well documented. [11] Georgetown University professor Janet Mann has specifically theorised that homosexual behaviour, at least in dolphins, is an evolutionary advantage that minimises intraspecies aggression, especially among males.

It is not necessarily homosexuality- more like they just want to breed with something, and don't care what. I do not know of any true homosexual non-human animals, but I am sure that there are probably a couple out there.
It is common amoung animals. I have seen female cows take turns mounting each other, and we had a stallion that would try to mate with all of the gelding he was with. Dolphin males will do it to harrass other species of dolphins. It is a dominance sort of thing as well.
My female horse shows to other females (we got her Art. insem. and she is so confused about how that happened!)
Fish- I dont think so- they dont really have any type of sex, they just squirt sperm over the eggs.
Birds, cats, dogs, lizards- I have seen instances in all of those.

Yes, in some species it does. Mostly in males. I think they just do it to pass the time. Mating season only comes around well, once a year for some animals!! Poor things.

my mom worked in a bird store and she said there are lots of homosexual parrots, but if the pair is separated a lot of them will breed with a bird of the opposite sex.
I saw a newspaper article about homosexual penguins once, too.

it's usually a dominance*sp* thing. it is a behavior to establish the alpha male or female. it has NOTHING to do with sexual prefrence and everything to do with aggression.
