Your question is based on a false premise. Some animals do engage in homosexual activity. You might want to read Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity by Bruce Bagemihl for an extensive overview of the subject. I think the existence of homosexuality in nature is, for the most part, irrelevant to contemporary debates over civic equality and social acceptance for lesbians and gays. Homosexuality occurs in nature, and even if it didn’t, we human beings do plenty of ‘unnatural’ things to which no one objects, which we even consider laudable. Animals don’t write symphonies, build hospitals, fly airplanes or wear clothes. Does that make these things wrong? It’s equally silly to claim that because homosexuality occurs in nature that we ought to accept it. Murder, rape and cannibalism also occur in nature. We don’t accept them. Ultimately, gay equality will be won by appealing to basic moral and political principles of justice, tolerance and equality, not the false standard of ‘what is (un)natural is/is not right.’
