Homosexuality has been found in 1,500 species of animals through behaviour observation research studies. There’s probably many more species, if you consider that the number only account for the animals that have been studied. Here’s ten animals were gay liaisons or relationships exist:
It is estimated that 27-40% of wild male cheetahs live with same-sex partners and that 16-19% of wild male cheetahs life in a same-sex trio.
Each of these couples is a separate subspecies of penguin, meaning that several subspecies of penguin has documented gay penguins.
7. Dolphins Several subspecies of dolphin have gay or bisexual dolphins. One researcher discovered the incredible seventeen year gay relationship between two male dolphins. Researchers have also found pods of all male dolphins who share sexual and romantic experiences together. Dolphins are known to be highly flirtatious and sexualised. Male dolphins have been known to engage in masturbation of other males. Same-sex dolphins engage in long foreplay, with the sexual act only lasting a short time. Male dolphins regardless of their sexuality tend to be aggressive and violent towards the other during sex. |
8. Foxes Foxes are nocturnal animals, which out of breeding season live alone. They often share territory were there is a dominant male. The dominant male will mount a same-sex subordinate doggy style. During breeding season foxes generally live in a den, either as a mated straight couple or a male with several young females. I guess you could say foxes are more bisexual than gay. |
9. Bats Bats are said to have the highest percentage of gayness, above all other animals, including humans. Both male and female bats can be gay with their behaviours including: affection, sexual activity and bonding. There are several subspecies of bats that are gay including Vampire Bats, Fruit Bats and Flying Fox Bats. |
I’m sure one of my cats, Russell is gay. He loves any sort of affection, and despite being the bigger of the two cats, he’s not at all dominant.
It’s interesting that homosexuality has been found in many species of animal; but homophobia only exists in one species of animal: humans. We’ve all heard that comment being gay is unnatural. Well sorry homophobes, but Mother Nature disagrees with you.

Music Review: McFly 10th Anniversary Concert (Live at The Royal Albert Hall)
By AntonyMusic & Radio, ReviewsNo CommentsMcFly recently celebrated their 10th Anniversary. Their latest album is a live recording of one of their anniversary concerts at The Royal Albert Hall. I’ve always liked the McFly songs I’ve heard; but after listening to this album and watching the video recording of this concert – I’ve become a huge fan!
This MyFly 10th Anniversary Concert at The Royal Albert Hall [CD & DVD] comes with two CDs of live audio recordings and one DVD of the video recording from night three of their anniversary gigs. |
The best way to show you how upbeat, musically talented and great they are is to show you some videos from Youtube:

Although this video is about porn addiction; it explains the aetiology of all addictions:

Whether it be: porn, sex, drugs, alcohol, cigs, food, exercise, violence, etc. the mechanism in the brain – the neurological reward pathway operates in the same way.
Just thought it might be of interest. They reckon about 10% of people experience addiction at some point in their lives. I myself have an addiction to nicotine – something I need to work on. Have a watch, go on, I’ll wait.
What’s interesting to me, is the transformation people undertake. They have to identify their addiction and make the choice to deal with it. This transformation process is a difficult one; with the individual having to work on deep rooted issues. And most people don’t get it right the first time; but when they finally do it’s an incredible sight to behold. It gives me real hope in the strength of the human spirit.

These emails were on a variety of topics, always being entertaining, sometimes being interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally being serious.
