I read an article in an animal magazine that states there are some animals who choose the same sex animal as partners. I wish I had the article on me to let you know exactly what it said, but basically it stated the animal exhibited ‘nesting’ type behavior with its own gender. You can find some support of this information at http://www.salon.com/it/feature/1999/03/cov_15featurea.html and http://www.gaywow.com/gayanimals.htm. If you consider that animals are a ‘lower’ form, then they have basic instincts, such as to procreate to keep their species alive. Since we are a ‘higher’ form , then we already know that our species is alive and well, overcrowding and ruining the earth and animal’s habitats. Do you think ‘homosexual intercourse’ is the only activity that homosexuals engage in? They are the same as any other human being. They have intimate relationships that are satisfying on all levels – not just sex. I hope the links provide you with some answers to your question.

Not to mention any number of humans who do not think that homosexual behavior is a sign of ‘lower’ morals or intellect or evolutionary development, or whatever you meant when you used the word ‘higher.’

In the wild, chimpanzees have been observed to engage in male-to-male and female-to-female sexual behavior, including intercourse. In fact, virtually all human sexual activity, such as masturbation, adultery, rape, pedophilia, etc., has been witnessed in primate cultures. They likely would do porno as well if they had cameras! And our primate cousins are by no means the only animals so inclined. There have been, recently, numerous documented reports of homosexual behavior in numbers of wild mammal and bird communities. I stress ‘in the wild’ here because such behavior seen in zoos and in domestic animals for years has always been dismissed as an artifact of captivity. We had a male cocker spaniel when I was a teenager who definitely, obviously, preferred other boy dogs; which greatly limited my parents’ desire to ever take him on walks around the neighborhood.

Scientists have documented this among cows, rams, dolphins and even primates. Perhaps this is the more relevant question – if man is supposed to be a ‘higher’ animal, why does he discriminate and hate so fiercely – forcing people to lose their jobs, apartments, security and even their lives based on who they love? That is the real puzzler.

Male animals often ‘mount’ other male animals. Some mounting is dominance assertion but still is a homosexual act. Your basic assumption that humans are unique in homosexual behavior is incorrect.

Name : Chris32183, City : Orlando, State : FL, Country : United States,Wow, you must have not grown up around animals. When my dad was growing up on a farm in Ohio, his folks had a ‘lesbian’ cow who mounted other cows and was extremely hostile to the idea of breeding with a bull. Don’t panic–I don’t think the dairy industry will be toppled by a flood of gay cows; she was probably exceptional. In other words, gay sexuality isn’t ‘unnatural,’ just ‘uncommon.’

Name : eli, Gender : F, Race : White/Caucasian, City : chicago, State : IL, Country : United States,Animals do mimic homosexual acts to release natures drive to procreate the species and pass their genes to the next generation. This power is so great that it will drive a dog perform on a humans leg to quell natures quest. I guess its debatable to say that any animal feels LOVE for that partner, the way humans do. Your question does bring up an interesting point, Humans are a higher species and we are aware of the feeling of LOVE. But who we make love to happens to be labeled, in the past sexual orientation was labeled good or bad if their attempt was in the guidelines to promote off-spring and procreate the species in general. At this point those guidelines are changing, and will continue to change once homosexuality is accepted, Bestiality, Necrophilia and Incest are also different sexual orientations and unfortunately they will come in time to be accepted as well. Nothing can be stopped, once you open Pandoras Box. Looking at the direction we are headed can you honestly say humans are a higher species than animals?
