Look I did think they were far out ideas because animal behavior is different than humans. Now I know you say being gay is not a personal choice, it's what you're born into, and I respect that, I really do. I was just having a hard time with this article because it referred to animal behavior. I mean I was taught in school that animals mate basically as an instinct to survive. Most times whether you be homosexual or hetro, you mate with the one you love out of a personal choice for the one you want to be with.
same with food, I was taught in school that animals eat to survive out of instinct, and all srtos of things.
look, I said I was sorry about what I said before, and wanted to talk about what I posted, the article because it is an interesting study, whch I was taught differently on when I was younger. That is why I thought it was far outght. I do not have contempt for anyone, and I said I was sorry for maybe sating something rude before, but obviously you aren't looking at that.

People do research on animal (and human) behaviors all the time. So what's so far out about trying to figure out if birds and bees exhibit gay behaviors or engage in same-sex relationships? That's how we understand nature. The OP's assertion:
... and..
and this:
... clearly showed a contempt to homosexuality and any research on its "naturalness." Then the OP begins to retract his comments by saying he meant no harm.
As for choice... let me ask you, bloemarc, did you, at one point in your life, decide/choose whether you like girls or boys? I certainly didn't. It's not quite the same as vanilla vs. chocolate.
If anything, people choose to live a heterosexual lifestyle even if they are gay because of societal prejudice from people like you. Not the other way around.
