Gays are Key to Survival of Species

Over 450 species of animals have gay behavior scientists have found. In a study called "Trends in Ecology and Evolution" it suggest that homosexuality among animals may be vital for the survival of the species.

“The variety and ubiquity of same-sex sexual behavior in animals is impressive,” wrote the paper's authors Nathan Bailey and Marlene Zuk. “Many thousands of instances of same-sex courtship, pair bonding and copulation have been observed in a wide range of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, mollusks and nematodes.”

"It's been observed a lot," Bailey, a post-doctoral researcher at University of California, Riverside continued. "But it took people a long time to put it in an evolutionary context."

For traditional Darwinism, the notion of animals indulging in behavior that will not result in procreation may seem confounding. However, Bailey and Zuk have argued that in many cases, gay behavior in fact supports a species and can improve the chances of survival.

For instance, a third of all bonded Laytan albatrosses live in all-female couples. This helps the colony, which has far more female than male birds, because the females will share the parenting while the males carry out opportunistic mating.

This is the same theory why I get so lucky with all the horned up guys, closing time at boobies bars.
