First of all, homosexual and bisexual activity was very common before the Christ God ever came around, especially in ancient Greece. Some societies looked down upon it, but it wasn’t until the rapid spread of Christianity that homo and bisexuality was really seen as something terrible. Many historical figures of our times to include; Socrates, Michelangelo, Donatello, Alexander the Great and many others were said to have had sexual relations with people of the same sex. That doesn’t make it right or wrong to say the least, but it just goes to show that this isn’t something new that we’re dealing with today.
These practices have been going on all over the world and are still very much accepted in many places. When I was stationed in the Republic of South Korea, it was nothing to see guys walking around holding hands and whatnot. It was said that many men there in Korea usually had sexual relations with their best friends until it was time for them to marry. And then, the men would still remain friends, but they would no longer be “sexual” friends. I’ve heard that this still happens in many societies today.
For those of you (religious Right) who say “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve”, I must ask; what is your explanation when it comes to the animal kingdom? There are many species (especially social species) of animals that engage in same-sex activities / relations. Some of those include certain species of birds, beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, monkeys, orangutans and many others. This discovery tells me that homo and bisexuality isn’t always a decision. The fact that homosexuality is found in the animal kingdom tells me that it is very possible that many people are born that way. Of course I believe that some people do indeed make the decision to be gay, but not 100% of the time. As well documented as homosexuality is in the animal kingdom; does it not make you wonder why God would create such animals? I mean what would be the point? Did God actually create gay or bisexual animals, but not intend for humans to be that way? I find that hard to believe and being that these animals do exist; then why is it so hard for people to accept homo and bisexual men and women?
I read an article, which stated that the Bonobo African Ape (which is very closely related to humans) has nonreproductive sex 75% of the time and almost all Bonobo Apes are bisexual. Another one worth mentioning are male dolphin calves. When dolphins are young, they are known to form temporary relationships (sexual) with other male dolphins. These relationships most of the time turn out to be lifelong friendships or bonds.
We as a society must get over the fact that not everyone makes the decision to become gay or bisexual and that it may just be the way they were born. The mere fact that homo and bisexuality exists in the animal kingdom should be more than enough proof that some people are just born that way.
Cases of animal homosexuality are now being brought into the court rooms to fight against states that ban gay marriage and whatnot. I’m not gay and obviously not Christian, but I hope that the animal kingdom will continue to be there to provide proof and to help the gay communities get what they deserve…their rights!
