The issue with finding homosexual behaviour in animals is that it’s never exclusive. Homosexual animals tend to be bisexual at best, and can often be chalked up to erroneous mating.
A lot of these studies are used to validate human homosexuality and harm the “it’s unnatural!” argument touted by conservatives. However using a Call to Nature is fallacious, and could be used to validate all number of animal behaviour.
Couldn’t that logic be used against literally any good action? Like giving $100,000 to a malaria charity isn’t going to stop malaria. If everyone thought like vegans, the world would be vegan, the climate crisis would almost entirely be averted, rivers swimmable, billions of animal lives saved each year.
If during your supermarket shop, you use vegan recipes instead, you’ll be one of those dominos. You could be the systemic change!
Added a parsnip to my vege soup this week, absolutely added a whole bunch of flavour, can recommend.
Maybe it’s like those Facebook posts where you tell Mark Zuckerberg that he’s not allowed to profit off your photos.

My games on Next Fest! It’s called Game Over, it’s a rhythm-combat RPG and the demo is basically a stand alone free game with its own story. Please try it!
Go away sealion
MechaGameZilla did an excellent video on the topic.
Tamarillos! They’re pretty rare now, tart and sweet, looks a feijoa and a tomato crossed. Love em!
In the list there’s “unknown Iraqi male” who died by meteor shower, 19th century, not too far in.
Hats off for putting in the effort, thank you.
Huh, I wouldn’t expect to see a Christian on Lemmy.
Metroid II : Samus Returns. It gave me literal nightmares as a child. I swear it had jump scares in it.
Trigger warning: the word tra*ma
I like to think of myself as pretty supportive, but is there really any evidence that specifically reading the word “trauma” is traumatic? And if so, is the removal of the “U” really a solution to that?
Because it seems like asterixing one letter is more of a performative measure to signify ones support for the overall cause rather than an actually means to reduce suffering.
How close can the “U” be before it starts to upset someone?
“Tra u ma”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuu Tra ma Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I don’t believe that someone who is affected by the word “trauma” would view the above examples with a complete non-reaction because the U is vaguely obfuscated.
Like, we can agree that the asterix is just a display of consideration to someone, rather than an actually effective measure, right?
Just gives me more opportunity to save up lots and lots of piss
Damn I didn’t know
Our (Australian) right wing government stopped increasing the amount they pay doctors when people visit, and the new left wing government isn’t doing anything either.
So now I have to “co-pay” $30 whenever I visit, when it used to be free. I found that so outrageous that next time, I’m travelling half an hour to go to a clinic that still “bulk bills” (read: doesn’t charge the patient).
If I was an American I think I’d just die of rage. I wonder how much that’d cost me.
Edit: Oops, turns out our new left wing government just recently INCREASED the GP payment rate, so hopefully we’ll see more bulk billing places return.
Huh, wasn’t aware of that. Well, after a bit more research, excluding that one species in that one study, there are no exclusively homosexual animals.
