Norway offers a museum with 51 species of homosexual animals.

In the first exhibit of it's kind, the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum presents 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality. The display is called "Against Nature?"

"Homosexuality has been observed in more than 1,500 species, and the phenomenon has been well described for 500 of them," said Petter Bockman, project coordinator of the exhibition.

MSNBC.com adequately points out that "homosexuality" and "heterosexuality" are terms defined by societal boundaries, invisible in the animal kingdom.

"I think to some extent people don't think it's important because we went through all this time period in sociobiology where everything had to be tied to reproduction and reproductive success," said Linda Wolfe, who heads the Department of Anthropology at East Carolina University. "If it doesn't have [something to do] with reproduction it's not important."

Others believe that being gay or bisexual allows animals to join packs or groups more easily. Same-sex unions can be used for alliance and protection. The diversity allows them to gather strength in groups - and to survive encounters with predators. To keep pace with evolution.

The argument that a homosexual way of living cannot be accepted because it is against the "laws of nature" can now be rejected scientifically, said Geir Soli, project leader for the exhibition.

Very interesting. I wonder if they have distinguish sex from love, in animals. Just sex is one thing. Love is another.

I have often thought our cats to be gay as well. When our Jalla walks in, the first thing Floyd does is stick his nose in Jalla's arse

and on a few occasions i've seen him "washing" Jalla in that place

and Jalla never ever seems to mind ...
They may seem innocent to outsiders but i know better :

edit: in this pic Floyd is looking at Jalla in a way that i've seen Lindsey look at Stevie

I think all cats do that. Dogs too. No? My two kitties are both girls, and they are always sniffing each other's behind. They're even sisters!

Animals are the ceepiest things sometimes, but i love them so much. I would seriously die without my cats. haha.

My cats [girls, they are 3 or 4 months apart], fight all the time, but they always sinff each others butts. its so bad. The little one always chases the big one around, its so funny.

I know, I want some pix in this thread!
