From Kim Kemmis
Is it legitimate to apply the terminology of homosexuality to nonhuman
species? What about orientation? Do king penguins do it for pleasure, or because
they are attracted to each other? Does sexual attraction in animals mean the
same thing as in humans?
It is important that these behaviours be discussed rather than concealed or
ignored as they have been. But let’s talk about them in ways that make sense of
the data, instead of borrowing a paradigm that might not actually fit.
