Welcome to Gaia! ::

I always knew that all species of animals can be homosexual, but now I have proof. This is a great artical in that it clearly eliminates one of society's most prominant reasons for why homosexuality is wrong. It seems to me that with every year more and more people are coming to be undiscriminatory(though sadly I highly doubt we can get everyone to), and this is a big boost.

Is undiscriminatory even a proper form of the word?

I remember there was a book that was published back in 1999 with the same concept in mind called Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity. He collected evidence, not concerning hermaphoditic species, but just purely of the variety of different relationship dynamics and came to many if not more of the same conclusions, which he called biological exuberance.

I haven't read it myself, though I was tempted to buy it from my campus bookstore a couple years ago. As a actual colume of biological study and evidence, I've heard it was really convincing. Especially the hidden homophobia and "oddities" that academia refuses to recognize. I think the argument was that people like the author of the book were anthropomorphizing/categorizing animal behaviour in human terms, but it's really just the old argument that humans are in a class of their own apart from animals. Funny, how the oxymoron of "separate, but equal" crops up again and again.
