… confirming Mediterranean old ideas
Oslo, Norway – «The exhibit called "Against Nature" at the internationally acclaimed Natural History Museum in the Norwegian capital documents homosexuality among penguins, parrots, giraffes, whales and other mammals and also insects.
A translation from Norwegian into English of a statement at the exhibit says "We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear: homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom; it is not against nature."
The exhibit opened Thursday features a photograph that attracted considerable attention of two sexually aroused whales rubbing together. Another shows two male giraffe's engaged in sex.
"The sexual urge is strong in all animals. It's a part of life, it is fun to have sex," exhibit organizer Geir Soeli told the Reuters news agency.
One radical Christian said organizers of the exhibition – partly funded by the Norwegian government – should "burn in hell," Soeli said.
Laws describing homosexuality as a "crime against nature" are still on the statutes in some countries.
Greek philosopher Aristotle noted apparent homosexual behaviour among hyenas 2,300 years ago but evidence of animal homosexuality has often been ignored by researchers, perhaps because of distaste, lack of interest or fear of ridicule.
Bonobos, a type of chimpanzee, are among extremes in having sex with either males or females, apparently as part of social bonding. "Bonobos are bisexuals, all of them," Soeli said.
Still, it is unclear why homosexuality survives since it seems a genetic dead-end.
Among theories, males can sometimes win greater acceptance in a pack by having homosexual contact. That in turn can help their chances of later mating with females, he said.
And a study of homosexual men in Italy suggested that their mothers and sisters had more offspring. "The same genes that give homosexuality in men could give higher fertility among women," Soeli said.»
… After all, not even corrupt scientific research will ever silence the truth, will it?

A topic close to my heart, and in my history.
History first. San Francisco. Mid 1990’s. This angry, hysterical closet case nut job became the new mission president for the San Francisco stake (Mormon church). God hw as a sick f*ck. Railed against homosexuals until veins bulged in his head, and he worked himself up to near orgasm.
Once SF 49’s quarterback Steve Young was at their Temple in Oakland to try and lure young men. I brought my digital video camcorder. I had a premonition that that something that needed to be recorded would happen. I was rewarded beyond my wildest dreams.
Oh my god – this Mission president – lets give his real name so search engines can find him – Phillip Smart starting pawing all over the chunky hunky Steve on stage in front of the entire crowd, much to Steve’s horror and embarrassment. God Phil all but got down on his knees groveling and licking his way up from Steve’s feet to his c*ck, or maybe his ass (he probably was a big time butt muncher wanna-be). The young male missionaries were snickering in the audience trying to keep from laughing at their Mission President.
That video tape became famous and missionaries kept stopping by my house to see it and laugh. Then they began sneaking out to where his mission housing was, and put gay pride stickers onto Phil’s car bumper, and taking pictures of themselves doing it. Funniest thing I ever saw. Still brings a smile to my face. He started a virtual inquisition trying to determine which missionary was doing it. Hell, LOTS of them were doing it – it became a right of passage, because he was such an asshole and the kids hated him. Even his own son, who was a very sweet and gentle kid, knew that his dad was a sick fuck.
Politico and church people railing against homo’s: this is ALWAYS -- 100 PERCET OF THE TIME an indication that the person doing the ranting is a big groveling closet case. That is Psychology 101. And the ones railing against HARLOTS and JEZABELS are secretly hiring S&M Mistresses to walk all over them and to humiliate them.
Phil used to say that HOMOSEXUALITY DOES NOT EXIST IN ANIMALS – ONLY IN EVIL HUMANS. Shit – Oakland Zoo had a famous pair of Lesbian penguins that are mated for life. I took some missionaries there on multiple occasions without mentioning anything before hand and then stumbling upon the exhibit and pretending it was the first tome I too had seen it. I wanted to make sure that FACTS AND REALITY was planted into their brains along with all the sick twisted cult indoctrination.
Now...for the part close to my heart. What is the purpose of homosexuality in mother nature’s grand scheme of evolution of the human species? It would not exist, as you point out, if it was not an intentional factor in the continuation of the species. I have theories which are really based on my own life. For some reason, I have been a magnet for otherwise heterosexual men to emotionally bond with me, and to even sexually bond with me. Maybe it is just me, and my lot in this life, or my part in this play that is being staged. But it seems to provide something for them – balances them out in some manner. Does it reduce male on male aggression by allowing a ritualized way of playing out male on male dominance and submission? Perhaps.
And for women – what is the gay friend? He is the male friend that eludes them in their sexual partners. The tender hearted sensitive man who can effortlessly reach in and touch their inner soul. Male/female “girlfriends”.
And who is the lesbian? The woman who absolutely as brave, as courageous, and every bit the match to the warrior male. She is the female who is unconquerable by the male and she can kick his ass if need be. And that seems to be every bit as needed.
What are your thoughts on the great “why is mother nature creating homo’s” question?
Thank you so very much, Will, for your insightful comment! I'll be coming back to this subject later on. Thereare a few things I just want to think over first... :-)
Ric, Fourhorsemen brings up a good question as does the article that you posted. Why would homosexuality exist if it weren't for some genetic need.
Perhaps it is nature's form of natural birth control! Perhaps it is designed for men to help other men LEARN how to do "it." Perhaps it is an outlet for males to release their pent-up desires and frustrations when a pregnant woman or a woman going through her menstral cycle rejects her suitors.
Then again, perhaps it's God's way to test those of us who are gay. Maybe He is saying, "Can you handle the cross (i.e. burden) that I gave you?" Or for those who believe in reincarnation, perhaps it is God's way of saying, "Now. Aren't you sorry for the way you treated gays in your last life?"
Frankly, I opt for nature's birth control OR for God giving us our own little crosses to bear. Either makes more sense then religions' answer: "sinners!"
Thank you, Gray, for helping me make up my mind! I'll definitely choose any Nature's rule, even if we, human beings, became so arrogant that we no longer consider ourselves as animals. But we are, and that's there where we must look for the answer. Somewhere in our evolution path there must be anything that can help us understand. That's why I'm now so critical as far as science is concerned. Its arguments are not honest at all. That is unforgivable!
Any other arguments - religious or fate dependent - do not convince me at all!
Wish you all the best!
