An interesting article. Unfortunately it seems biased to me, too eager to prove homosexuality as a natural occurrence. Now, I'm not saying it isn't, as I don't know enough about homosexuality outside of the human race to argue a case, but were there some referencing or manner of proof provided I would be more willing to see this as a point of academic study as opposed to yet another unsupported attempt to justify ourselves.

However, Peter Bockman does mention with a sense of bitterness a few reasons to account for this. Personally I would be very interested to visit this exhibition, and look further into the subject.

Plenty of academic research referenced in detail at the wikipedia article on homosexual behavior in animals.

Roughgarden and Bagemihl have done extensive research.

Isa, you are a wiki scholar?

Surely you are not quoting wikipedia to prove a point!

Wiki is a joke. Many incorrect things have been posted on Wikipedia as gospel by its loyal followers.

This is hilarious. please, you are joking, right.

Oh right. I forgot. That means everything on wikipedia is a lie. Idiot. It's a valid resource. Especially when the vast majority of information on wikipedia is cited.

Perhaps Isa was too lazy to follow the footnotes and cite the original scientific articles, but you're a fool for discounting the facts in that manner.
