They’re GAY!!!
Human beings are sexual creatures. Most of us participate in sex for more than just reproductive purposes..we do it because it’s pleasurable. Having sex can reduce stress. Indeed, it’s been said that people who masturbate on a regular basis are generally less stressed and happier individuals. I’m sure the same goes for those who regularly have sex.
Human beings are primates. Our closest living relatives are the chimps, who share 98% of our DNA. We have striking similarities between the species, including but not limited to social structures, behaviors, and physical features. Obviously, we don’t look like other primates, however, all of us have 5 fingers on each hand and most primates have fingernails instead of claws. There are some exceptions to that for a few species of primates. All other primates are quadrupeds, meaning they walk on all fours. Some can walk on their two legs for a short amount of time, however.
Social structures of many species of primates are quite complex, more complex than any other creature on earth except for humans. Males are generally dominant and in many species they are bigger than females. They have complicated hierarchies of dominance. One very important aspect of social structures in many primate cultures is that of grooming. When one grooms another, it’s a time of bonding, forming friendships. When a baby is born, it’s very defenseless, like that of a human child, and needs to be cared for by the mother for a much longer period of time than other creatures. It needs to be cared for for an average of 3-5 years, depending on the species. While a child is still young, in many primate cultures other mothers and fathers will look out for the child as well, protecting it from any dangers.
You may ask yourself what these things have to do with sexuality, and the title of this post, They’re GAY!!!
As was said, humans are creatures that have sex not only to reproduce, but also for pleasure. Same with the primate species bonobos. They are the only other primate that has sex for reasons other than reproducing. Also, they are the only other primates that will have sex face to face. Bonobos are sexually stimulated much of the time and will freely participate in sex….with opposite sex partners AND same sex partners. Females will rub genitals with each other or touch each other’s genitals. Males will mount other males. They do this for pleasure, and not just for the reason of reproduction. Homosexuality DOES exist in nature, and not just the gay penguins. There are some who think it’s unnatural for people to have sex with same sex partners, and that sex was originally designed for the sole purpose of reproduction to keep the species alive. If that were the case, sex wouldn’t have been made to be pleasurable. Sure, same sex couples can’t reproduce, but the world is way overpopulated anyway.
People might be repulsed that I’m comparing our sex lives with those of animals. But I think that most people tend to forget that humans ARE animals. We ARE a species of primate. The ONLY thing that separates us from the rest is the size of our brains relative to our body size. Our brains allow us cognitive thought, the ability to “think outside the box.” It’s taken us A LONG TIME to get to where we are in many contexts, including morality and technology. We’ve been around for millions of years, allowing us to develop what we have and what we are today. Indeed, primates have shown that they have the capacity in their brains to learn (next to us, primates are the only other species on the planet to have large brains compared to body size). They can learn sign language and they show signs of cognitive thought.
For those who want to argue about our similarities and evolution of and to primates, this isn’t exactly about that. The answers may be in the DNA, which scientists are still researching. They’ve mapped out the human genome, but they still don’t know what genes are what. It’s like having a map with no roads. Scientists keep getting closer to the answers, but they aren’t there yet.
Anyway, just another argument for homosexuality.
Also, if you didn’t know, “They’re GAY!!!” is a line from The Birdcage

I love that movie – The Bircage! There are also dolphins that engage in homosexual activity, among others. I think that I have to agree with Kinsey and his gray scale. Very few are one or the other. I am an equal opportunity advocate myself, and I enjoy sex with both. (Men and women, not apes and dolphins)
Basically all animals have sex for pleasure, they just can’t have sex year round. I want a pet monkey now!
Here’s what I think. When push comes to shove, in specific situations, if I guy who was against same-sex activity was really horny and could get away with it without anybody else knowing, he would have sex with another man.
Speaking of gayness, am I the only one that suspects that the woman who is a part of Westboro Church who created the Lady gaga-based spectacle “whorish face” is a closet lesbian? To me, anyone who worries so much about an artist or their sexuality that you have to diss them like that must have some underlying sexual attractions to them. It’s the same as a man putting down a promiscuous woman (or, say, a prostitute) to me. Does the man really think she’s disgusting for doing what she does or does he only think that because, as shameful as the thought may be to him, he secretly thinks she is sexy and wants to be the next (and only guy) fucking her?
And ladyboys are HOT!
