Homosexual Animals

A while back I wrote a few articles about a couple of gay penguins at the New York Zoo. Now it appears that maybe homosexual animals may not be so rare…

Joan Roughgarden thinks Charles Darwin made a terrible mistake. Not about natural selection—she’s no bible-toting creationist—but about his other great theory of evolution: sexual selection. According to Roughgarden, sexual selection can’t explain the homosexuality that’s been documented in over 450 different vertebrate species. This means that same-sex sexuality—long disparaged as a quirk of human culture—is a normal, and probably necessary, fact of life. By neglecting all those gay animals, she says, Darwin misunderstood the basic nature of heterosexuality.

Here’s the footage, make a judgement for yourself. I don’t watch the show but this to me is a huge example of something being blown out of proportion! She’s laughing the entire time, and even after it happens shes still smiling and talking to the guys!
