Interesting...I didn’t know that
To: JoeProBono; Revolting cat!
So whats in it for the 450-plus species that go for same-sex sex? What's in it for the dogs that hump stuffed dolls, furniture, and human legs?
What is the evolutionary "benefit" of j*cking off?
Scientific American has added itself the scrap pile of propaganda posing as useless infotainment.

Looking at their definition of things it appears that you could say two human male roommates who do get an apartment together, share bills and food are gay when they obviously are not. "I think he's talking about us, Bert"

it eliminates animals that can’t detect the opposit sex. (whether mutation or caused by a shortage of members of the opposit sex)

you are correct, this is POLITICS trying to be a force in real science.
If anything when there is a shortage of the opposite sex, it would probably cull those least likely to reproduce and continue the species into the future. (at least until the next mutation or shortage)

And what about when they engage in interspecies sexual conduct?
Animals also commit rape and incest, we would be best advised to rise above baser animal instincts of sexual desire and procreation.

What about it? I never suggested that these were measures of what should be acceptable for humans. He asked about why the animals do these things and said he thought it was done primarily in the absence of the opposite sex. I merely responded that this was not the case. I’m not sure what you are responding to but it certainly wasn’t an argument that I actually made.

The point is that it is not necessary to “explain” the behaviors of the animal kingdom to find any justification for making a moral stand AGAINST certain behaviors in the civilized world of humans.
The sex positive agenda seeks to end ALL moral judgments over ALL sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s). Talk of “scientific evidence” for a genetic component et al are just blather to make the medicine go down. Ultimately, sex positive advocates don't care “why”, it's just another excuse to make it palatable, ultimately they don't think ANYTHING should be “off limits”.

Ok. I'm still not sure how what you are saying has anything to do with anything I said. You responded to me in particular - not a general response to the thread - so I'm working with the assumption that what you are saying has something to do with what I said.
My confusion comes from the fact that you appear to be responding to and refuting points I never made, never brought up, and don't personally believe. The only thing I said was that animals have a wide variety of reasons to do the things they do - a statement so vague that it could be read as being in agreement with just about anything.

The constant appeal to the animal world just doesn’t do much for the homosexual movement.
It always comes across as making it look like they’re saying that gays are just like animals.

Do Gay Animals Change Evolution? No, just their dates. Some titles just demand a pun.

But... but... the Scientific Establishment[tm] has a tight-knit cabal that rigidly excludes such heretical thoughts! That's what all the creationist threads on FR say, anyway....ummmm exactly who do you think these "other researchers" ARE that are "thinking outside the evolutionary box" ???

This is politics posing as science and money is the mother's milk of politics. Follow the money, the politically correct weirdos have their hands on all of the grant money. We must look into this and make sure that this stuff is not being down with the public’s money.

Thanks for sharing your views, dear metmom!
