Publisher: New York Times, 2004ISSN: 1522-3248;.Subject(s): Animal behavior | Birds | Dolphins | Homosexuality | Homosexuality -- Genetic aspects | Penguins | Primates | Sex (Biology)DDC classification: 050 Summary: "Gay groups argue that if homosexual behavior occurs in animals, it is natural, and therefore the rights of homosexuals should be protected. On the other hand, some conservative religious groups have condemned the same practices in the past, calling them 'animalistic.' But if homosexuality occurs among animals, does that necessarily mean that it is natural for humans, too? And that raises a familiar question: if homosexuality is not a choice, but a result of natural forces that cannot be controlled, can it be immoral?" (NEW YORK TIMES) This article discusses how "homosexual behavior throughout the animal world...has been increasingly drawn into charged debates about homosexuality in American society."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
