Homosexuality amongst animals in the wild...
I was browsing through Youtube and came across the following videos...

I think I just wanna bring across the point that these are natural occurances...
And also that I certainly did NOT choose an 'alternative lifestyle' to be gay and I certainly hope that gay men and women to STOP using the terms 'choose', 'lifestyle' etc when describing themselves and their sexual orientations...

Hi Buaya,
Actually, National Geographic has a documentary about this topic, and it was shown in Singapore a year or 2 back. The title is 'Wild Paradise: Love In Wild: Out In Nature: Homosexual Behaviour In The Animal Kingdom'
And here's a synopsis of the show:
"According to recent scientific research, more than 450 different species engage in homosexual activity. Based on the data, a covert sexual revolution has been taking place in nature and now creatures large and small are coming out of the animal kingdom closet. Explore the various ways homosexuality is expressed in the animal kingdom through courtship, affection, sex, and same-sex parenting."
Here's the link to the show:

Of course, I watched the documentary when it was shown in Singapore's National Geographic Channel, and it was very enlightening and interesting! I encourage everyone to watch it. Don't know if Singapore's National Geographic Channel is still showing it though.

Sorry to do multiple postings, buaya. But this piece of recent news is too interesting for me to not send it to you! :)
