David Attenborough under fire for ignoring gay animals - Polidicks

Are the people who demand gay animal sex, homosexual or homophobic? I am pretty sure homosexual humans don't go look for actual gay animals.

Truth; only the mad would actively do that.

im pretty sure homophobes dont turn to nature documentries to backup their claims...

[QUOTE=BCell;39528177]Are the people who demand gay animal sex, homosexual or homophobic? I am pretty sure homosexual humans don't go look for actual gay animals.[/QUOTE] Why am I having such a hard time figuring out the reasoning behind this post?

I haven't seen all the episodes on there, but is there an equal distribution of colour they're focusing on too cause I've seen a lot of darker animals in the first two episodes, and frankly im insulted.

So what if you don't see lesbian dolphins on tv, they're no different to hetero dolphins. Gay wolves, I can maybe understand. I mean, they probably move with way more sass and have perfectly groomed coats which would be great for tv because straight wolves just don't know how to carry themselves properly on camera.

[quote]- Homosexuality in animal world 'pretty much everywhere'[/quote] When I had a biology class, they taught me that only dolphins and primates had homosexual tendencies. Was I mislead?

I'm gay and I find this retarded.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;39527192]Did they ever think that maybe gay animals AREN'T everywhere and that he never actually saw any? Do they expect him to go specifically hunting for shots of gay animals?[/QUOTE] Gay animals might be everywhere, for all you know they might have shown gay animals. How do you [I]prove[/I] they are gay? Not all of his shows show animals at it.

I'm p sure david attenborough mentioned something about gay flamingos in one of his narrations!

Penguins aren't gay, they just dress well.

[QUOTE=RobbL;39527353]They never show any retarded or transgender animals either, shame on them[/QUOTE] They should probably do a natural documentary about the human species from a totally objective point of view like they do with all the fascinating animal species.

Sexuality is more of a construct for us than anything, the animal kingdom has it's own set of rules: [url]http://imgur.com/gallery/jKXOf[/url]

Gay Animals? Who cares what their sexual preference is, they're animals, it doesnt make a difference.

Typical media trying to twist opinions with straw man non-news articles.

[QUOTE=thisispain;39526865]i want to see those gay animals dave, come on[/QUOTE] A couple of years ago in the Netherlands we had reports in the news of a man researching a gay, necrophiliac duck. It was pretty hilarious. [url]http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03/09/gay_duck_honour/[/url] [quote]He was apparently sitting in his office in the Natuurmuseum Rotterdam when a rather daffy duck impacted with his window. Moeliker takes up the story: I went downstairs immediately to see if the window was damaged, and saw a drake mallard (anas platyrhynchos) lying motionless on its belly in the sand, two metres outside the facade. The unfortunate duck apparently had hit the building in full flight at a height of about three metres from the ground. Next to the obviously dead duck, another male mallard (in full adult plumage without any visible traces of moult) was present. He forcibly picked into the back, the base of the bill and mostly into the back of the head of the dead mallard for about two minutes, then mounted the corpse and started to copulate, with great force, almost continuously picking the side of the head. Rather startled, I watched this scene from close quarters behind the window until 19.10 hours during which time (75 minutes) I made some photographs and the mallard almost continuously copulated his dead congener. He dismounted only twice, stayed near the dead duck and picked the neck and the side of the head before mounting again. The first break (at 18.29 hours) lasted three minutes and the second break (at 18.45 hours) lasted less than a minute. At 19.12 hours, I disturbed this cruel scene. The necrophilic mallard only reluctantly left his 'mate': when I had approached him to about five metres, he did not fly away but simply walked off a few metres, weakly uttering a series of two-note 'raeb-raeb' calls (the 'conversation-call' of Lorentz 1953). I secured the dead duck and left the museum at 19.25 hours. The mallard was still present at the site, calling 'raeb-raeb' and apparently looking for his victim (who, by then, was in the freezer).[/quote] (not the full article) Note that this man received an Ig Nobel Prize for documenting the first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck.
