SSM Plebiscite

[kruddler]

The links between homosexuality in the animal kingdom and humanity are as tenuous as saying that SSM will open the floodgates for homosexual propaganda in schools.

Animals do display homosexual behaviour, but are not exclusively homosexual and we would at best be projecting human behavioural patterns onto animals rather than actual observed homosexuality as the reasons behind it are widespread and varying but ultimately have almost nothing to do with sexual preference but are sometimes related to gratification.

I.e. two male dogs hump each other, and this is about dominance, not gratification nor homosexuality.

IMHO the animals are irrelevant in this circumstance because you will analyse every species and get different answers as to how we as humans should behave, when we are discussing completely different biology and evolutionary influences.  See the Sea Horse reproductive system for reasons why it's irrelevant to the discussion.

The purpose of that comment was as a counter argument to 'homosexuals not being natural'. Like it is some kind of human 'disease'. Again, a silly argument.
