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. )
“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…”
