Just read a fascinating article in this week's New York Times Sunday magazine. (Subscribers get the magazine, along with other parts of the Sunday paper, on Saturday because the Sunday paper is too big.)
It's all about homosexual behavior in animals, the biases researchers have, the explanations people have tried to come up with, the way society (and, in particular, certain sections of it) tries to project interpretations onto that behavior to push pro- or anti-gay agendas, and so on.
It also includes cute pictures of same-sex pairs. The cover photo this week is a pair of (seemingly?) gay bunnies.
In the magazine, the article is entitled "The Love That Dare Not Squawk Its Name" but the web version is sadly more bland:
Can Animals Be Gay?
