"homosexuality in animals scientific study"

and you will get this:

Jan. 3, 1993

Dear Dr. Reinisch: Have you ever heard of homosexual practices among wild animals? I never have. If it doesn't occur, I think that could be real evidence that people, too, are not ``born that way'' but that it is a learned trait. I think it is also quite likely that homosexual and other sexual practices are addictive. An addicted person would no doubt feel like he was born that way.

Dear Reader: Thank you for your letter. I first want to say that homosexuality, like heterosexuality and bisexuality, is a sexual orientation, not a sexual practice. Sexual orientation has more to do with whom you ``fall in love'' with and feel passion towards than sexual activity -- the sex of the partner you are attracted to directs whether the behavior is homo (same sex) or hetero (other sex) sexual. As far as we know, non-human animals do not fall in love or experience passion. Their sexual behavior, which is almost entirely hormonally induced and occurs during very brief periods in most species, is linked to their fertility cycles. Sexual behavior between animals of the same sex has been found in invertebrates (fruit flies); birds (certain gulls, geese, ducks, turkeys); (domestic or held captive) mammals (bulls, cows, horses, antelopes, boars, rams, sheep, dogs, cats); and primates (stumptail macaque, pigtail macaque, rhesus monkeys, Catarrhine monkeys, Japanese macaques, Hanuman langurs, vervets, squirrel monkeys, chimpanzees, pygmy chimpanzees and mountain gorillas). Keep in mind that this is just a partial list. And that, in certain cases, scientists have only observed same-sex behavior under certain circumstances (in the wild or in captivity) and/or among only females or males of a particular species.

(Dr. Reinisch is director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, Indiana University-Bloomington.)
