Queer as Nature

And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Homosexuality is as natural as nature. That's the conclusion of Bruce Bagemihl's book, Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity.

Quote of note:

Bagemihl had scoured every scientific journal and paper he could lay his hands on for references to homosexuality in animals. Tucked away at the end of long and erudite texts, or consigned to footnotes and appendices, he found that homosexuality had been observed in no fewer than 1,500 species, and well documented in 500 of them. The earliest mention of animal homosexuality probably came 2,300 years ago when Aristotle described two female hyenas cavorting with each other.

The Natural History Museum in Oslo, Norway, has an exhibit devoted to this topic.
