'Homosexual love' is popular in the animal world

When homosexuals celebrated the right to marry each other in California (USA), many people asked the question: Is love between two homosexuals an unnatural phenomenon?

According to scientists, for this problem, Nature can answer immediately: homosexual love exists in thousands of species.

Roy and Silo, two male penguins at Central Park in New York City, USA, lived together for about 6 years. During that time they hatched an egg (provided by a zoo worker) and raised the young bird from the egg.

According to zoologist expert Petter Bockman of the University of Oslo, USA, the phenomenon of two homosexual individuals living together exists in about 1,500 animals, including bears, gorillas, flamingos, owls and fish. feedback

If homosexuality is a phenomenon that is completely natural in the kingdom of animals, why does evolution not eliminate it from genetic sources, because it does not lead to the reproduction of the breed.

The answer may be very simple: Homosexuality exists because it brings satisfaction.

"Not all sexual activity is related to reproductive function. This is true for both humans and animals," said Janet Mann, a biologist at Georgetown University.

Some scientists argue that homosexuality also serves some evolutionary purpose.

"It can be a way to enhance your association. Homosexual cuddling can also be a way to practice before intercourse with heterosexual individuals. Bottled dolphins spend a lot of time. "It is very beneficial for them to reach adulthood," Janet added.

Marlene Zuk, a biologist at the University of California (USA), thinks homosexual animals contribute to the gene pool of the community by nurturing the offspring produced by their relatives. Homosexual individuals also do not disturb gene sources by giving birth.

Man is the only species that is afraid of homosexuality.

"There are many assumptions about why humans consider homosexuality to be a threat. Some think it will break the bonds between male individuals. People think gay marriage is self-centered. Of course, it does not exist in animals, but that is not true, some say that homosexuality belongs to the instincts of animals, " Janet said.
