Gay animals out of the closet?

Could this be the beginning of the end to the "it's not natural" argument? Up to now there have been a few 'high profile cases' (i.e. Central Park penguins) but this shows the results of a lot more research.

Thank you for sharing.

Take this, neo-Christian conservatives!

That's very interesting...I remember watching a movie in freshman year biology about monkeys that have lesbian tendencies. Great research that will hopefully open people's eyes!

All I know is that my male basset hound loves it when we dress him up in fairy wings. Go figure.

Yes, well, I like to think I'm pretty open-minded.

I love bassett hounds...I love any dog that looks sad. I know that sounds weird, but I do...ie., bassetts, cocker spaniels

We are convinced that our younger labrador retriever is gay. He is lean and slender (unlike our chubby other lab) loves to watch ballet, and refuses to go outside in the rain. We love him though! Whatever makes him happy!
(And we've seen him with the Greater Swiss Mountain dog up the street)

Yeah, as if this will be enough to convince them. I can see them all now, sitting in church next Sunday: "Good morning everyone. It turns out we were wrong, and a big OOPS is in order. I draw your attention to the article copied in this morning's bulletin...."

No way, I have a basset hound and a cocker spaniel! Too funny.

Looks like some of these animals will be taking a trip to Big Gay Al's big gay animal place soon. This reminds me of a story I read a couple years ago about two gay male penguins who were raising a baby at the central park zoo. Does anybody else remember that, or I am confusing an episode of Will and Grace with reality?

Funny how RT doesn't have some comment on this....

Wait for it, TheatreDiva. It takes time to come up with complete bull****.

Justagirl, we should get our dogs together for a big GSA (gay straight alliance) party.

Hm... maybe it is the beginning of the end... I wonder if this exhibit would survive in the U.S.

I was a "cage dancer" back in the 80's. This makes complete sense to me.

I doubt it, DayDreamer. We wouldn't want to "promote the gay agenda" to our house pets. That would surely be the end of us all.

My dog Trixie was a full-on bull dyke. She made out with my sister's female Lab every time she visited, but she hated all male dogs.

My golden retriever puppy's favorite toy is his pink dog. He carries it around EVERYWHERE.

Plus look how pretty:

I love that the screen advert reads "HUGH JACKMAN"...now that's one animal I hope is gay.

Or at least he'll neck and play around until that one time of the year when the female wants to mate.

there's an interesting argument i've read about homosexuality in animals. i'm a homo so don't go thinking i'm trying to refute the gayness in the pups. i just found this very interesting:

i've heard a lot of fundys say that the only homosexuality they've encountered in animals is those in small confined quarters (mostly in captivity). taking from this argument it would be mostly out of a necessitiy than a whole natural instinct that they'd act on this behavior. sort of like why most guys in prison are a top.

*shrugs*

I'm gay by necessity. I simply HAVE to have sex with men.
