In the first exhibit of it's kind, the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum presents 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality. The display is called "Against Nature?"
"Homosexuality has been observed in more than 1,500 species, and the phenomenon has been well described for 500 of them," said Petter Bockman, project coordinator of the exhibition.
A gay couple in Britain are celebrating their fifth anniversary together with their adopted babies at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire. The couple happen to be flamingos.
Biological factors may influence hormonal umbalances in utero, and the influence could skew an unborn baby’s future sexual orientation. To test this theory, scientists at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station in Oregon have identified rams who show an interest in mounting other rams, electro-ejaculated them to collect sperm, and used the sperm to impregnate ewes. The offspring rams will be tested to see if they show a homosexual orientation.
