Just to clarify, this article counteracts a claim often made by homophobes of all stripes that homosexuality is 'unnatural'. Nowhere is it saying that because it occurs in animals we should be happy to do everything that animals do, for example eating our own shit (a favourite insult of the Phelps brigade).

Also those posting claiming that if homosexuality was 'normal' that none of us would be here because two people of the same sex can't procreate. Well guess what, gay sex has been happening since the dawn of time and we are all still here on this discussion board, just as all of the animals displaying homosexual behaviour have managed to continue the propagation of their species.

Jus' sayin'
