Gay Love In The Animal Kingdom

Despite hundreds and hundreds of years of furious denial, a new Museum exhibit in Norway carefully and scientifically puts to rest forever the assertion that homosexual behaviors are limited to human beings.

It appears to be a very well-researched and excellently presented exhibit. What a tragedy that there isn’t a snowball’s chance in…well, in Hell that this show could ever tour the United States of America.

( By “hundreds and hundreds of years”, I refer to the cite given in the article of the Church Council of Nablus in 1120 A.D. To me, that’s long ago enough. )

Gay whales “sparring with giant penises”??? Man, the gay whales get to have all the fun.

… until their giant penises are cut off, dried, and mounted in an Oslo museum, I guess. :dubious:

“The exhibition then uses macaques and apes to introduce the unsuspecting visitor to the practice of ‘diddling’, in which the primates gently hold each other’s scrotums. It is a way of establishing trust, Brockman suggests. Certainly you would not allow yourself to be diddled by someone you did not trust.”

Ya think?

I love the title of the article. Reminded me of Noel Coward’s parody of the Cole Porter tune. Coward’s version: “Birds do it, bees do it, nice young men who sell antiques do it…”

You’ll have to pry them out of their cold, dead flippers.

Bastards.

“Leading homosexuals?” Like… she’s really, really good at it?

Lucky for her girlfriend, I guess, but I don’t see what that has to do with her opinion about gay sheep.

Or possibly, out of the nearest blowhole. :eek:

I thought the same thing. What exactly makes one a “leading homosexual?” “Leading” and “well known” aren’t necessarily synonyms.
