While most sex acts among bonobos are between members of the same sex, most of those females will also have sex with males, making bonobos predominantly bisexual, not homosexual. To be fair, though, there is a species of reptile which is exclusively female (they reproduce parthenogenically), and among which therefore all sexual acts are lesbian.

Acknowledged. I should have worded my post more precisely.
