"Homosexuality has been observed in more than 1,500 species, and the phenomenon has been well described for 500 of them," said Petter Bockman, project coordinator of the exhibition.

>> "Do you not realize you are degrading all homosexuals by justifiying the fact that ANIMALS engage in homosexual activities. Animals are as such they are animals, why compare people and animals actions."
Uh oh, would it offend your ignorance terribly if I suggested that animals also have heterosexual sex... they also reproduce (what a twist!). Did I just suggest that all heteros are animals or degrade heteros by justifying the fact that animals have hetero sex?
This is the point many people answering haven't grasped. That animals have homosexual sex doesn't mean gays are animals anymore than heteros are animals. Many animals also keep one mate for life, does that mean married people are animals? Your reasoning is just stupid.
This is merely evidence that homosexuality is a natural phenomenon and not a choice. Indeed, neurologists have looked into the brains of human gays and found that there are visible brain differences in physiology and structure...

To get off.
Look, dude: most species can't reproduce without some male on female action. Almost ANY species that reproduces sexually is a species that has strong sexual urges. Everything that has genitals wants to get off. Everything that reproduces sexually gets horny. "Choose a lifestyle" is a human thing. You're anthropomorphizing the whole world of animals--giving every animal the human quality of "choosing a lifestyle" and implying that any one instance of sexual behavior constitute a long-term pattern that you call "lifestyle" in modern human terms. So one male bonobo gets off with another male bonobo and some researcher sees it. So what? If male bonobos didn't also get off with female bonobos occasionally, there'd be no baby bonobos.
Get off where you need to get off. I won't tell you not to. It's okay with me if you want to get off with people who are the same gender as you. Is it okay with you if I get off only with people who are of a different gender than I am? With nice ****?
Live and let live, bro.

amongst social animals it is a way of bonding or asserting dominance. the same sort of behavior can be seen in single sex environments in humans. it is different from being exclusively homosexual or heterosexual which are culturally, socially or psychologically conditioned behaviors. there are exceptions in the animal world such as the gay penguins in Berlin zoo, or 'old Billie' the ram my grandfather used to have on his farm who would never touch a ewe but put him in a field with another ram and he was in heaven.

Instinct
If you are looking at animals to figure out how to live your life, you are barking up the wrong tree. Would you want to eat the same things as dogs?

animals are just that...animals...they do not make moral or immoral decission in fact they only do what they can...and not for any reasoning within themselves....WE didnt come from an animal we came from clay and God breathed His life into us therefore we think in a morale term as humans and in doing so we choose which side of the fence we lay with...

The ones they have autopsied show a distinct malfunction in brain activity. Since they haven't found any volunteer queers to do a living brain autopsy on, it can only be presumed there is a similar cause. YBIC

Do you know what else "animals" do? They lick their own butts, drink from the toilette, eat feces, regurgitate food for their young, eat their own young, spray their paws with urine (a species of lemur I believe), shed their skin and eat it, lick their own eyeballs, pick the ticks and dead skin off another and eat it. You want to be like animals? Enough said.

Animals have no spiritual knowledge of what's good and evil, so they cannot be judged on the level of man.
Animals simply live off of their instincts. If it feels good they'll continue doing so.

the same reason they rape and kill eachother, they are wild nonspiritual beings. You would be wrong to directly compare them to a spiritual being such as yourself, aware of your moral failures, constantly trying to justify yourself, putting others down to exalt yourself.
