Homosexuality in animals: HOW can this BE?? (gay people, rates, New York)

And that's a good thing, because if they were homosexual their species would come to an end, unless they would understand what they can do with a turkey baster

That's probably why we have diversity in sexual orientations, because the species cannot continue if all are homosexual. Seems kind of obvious.

Sounds to me like a primitive impulse, stemming from the fact that (according to evolutionist) we all evolved form single-celled asexual bacteria.

Of course, I just believe homosexuality is nature's way of dealing with overpopulation..

I am just implying that if "whatever feels good," including animal sexual behavior, having sex with a toaster (or whatever), is OK, then we are all psychologically screwed-up as a species. I am not comparing you to anything.

Agree with you in the propagation of the species. But human "sexual diversity" has a lot to do with "kinks" in one's mind. For example, some are turned-on by shoes, inflicting or receiving pain, some find sexual pleasure by raping, or by killing, etc. In reality all of these things are straying from the right or normal path. As humans, we still have the potential to choose the right way. Not so with other animals (monkeys, buffalo, etc.). That's perhaps is what separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Succumbing to "whatever feels good" is just uncontrolled emotions, just like a monkey would do, a dog, etc.

Maybe the animals were not baptized. That is why they turned out gay.

So I guess we just do as the animals do and forget about human dignity.

Sorry to break your bubble connie, but humans are evolved animals.

I don't subscribe to the THEORY of evolution. If you want to think that your ancesters are apes, that is your perogative. I know where I came from.

What does any of that have to do with people having sex with other people of the same sex?

It read like you were. You insinuated that people having sex with other people of the same sex is no better than people having sex with turkeys or bread (however any of that works).
