Homosexual activity is widely spread and well documented across the animal kingdoms. In Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity (published in 1999), scientist Bruce Bagemihl demonstrates that some animals – just like some humans – find homosexuality as their natural way of being. Throughout the book’s 512 pages, Bagemihl piles up the evidence and addresses the question, “Why haven’t scientists reported this behavior?” No surprise here: Scientists were afraid to share their discoveries because they knew that the evidence clashed with others’ religious beliefs. And they knew that the offended would ruin the career of any scientist so rash as to tell an unwelcome truth. Or the scientists were so determined to find what they wanted that they ignored their own data. Thus Bagemihl places his own career on the line to document homosexual behavior across the animal kingdoms – from whiptail lizards to bottlenose dolphins, flamingoes, vampire bats and giraffes, bears and our fellow primates. This behavior is freely chosen, not the result – as some would hope – of force or the lack of available partners of the other sex. So, it’s not just Heather who has two mommies but some grizzly bear cubs, too. Let’s not limit God and her creation. Homosexuality is an integral part of life.
