I saw a documentary some time ago about homosexuality amongst animals. Though I can't remember much specific detail, the basic impression was that it is certainly not uncommon.
Could be an interesting topic of discussion, the evolutionary advantage of homosexuality. The fact is that it does happen (and not only in humans), so I would think there is a sound biological reason for it.
Any thoughts?

Sure. Would you like to make a bet? I bet 5 bucks that, despite all the evidence, there are still those on here who believe that homosexuality is not "natural," whatever that means.
I agree with you 100%, so I don't think I'll take that bet!

Re: penguisexuals
An interesting hypothesis.
Thanks for those links, I'll have a look.
