    That sounds like a you problem. By the way, able to and supposed to are different.

      In nature you’re supposed to, being able to is related to health problems. But yeah, I will raise my son/daughter in heterosexuality, if he/she wants to be gay/bi/etc that’s fine. But I don’t expect little boys to like other boys for example

        The “supposed to be…”, is a really big problem.

        First, it’s factually wrong. Homosexuality occurs all through nature and it’s not a mistake or random abberation. Presumably there’s some advantage to having a percentage of any population not reproducing. Perhaps so that they aren’t burdened with children and are free to fill other roles in their community, herd, flock or whatever. This increases the group survival/reproduction rate, even though they aren’t reproducing themselves.

        Secondly, “supposed to…” implies that there’s something wrong with any non-heterosexual individual. It sounds like, at best, you’ll accept their homosexuality as natural but, at the same time, you understand that they’re actually defective. That attitude isn’t going to lead to good things, and not something I would like to see widespread in society.

        And finally, the fact that you would even say this points out the need for more education on this in schools, not less.

        There is no “suppose to” in nature. Nature is literally random

          We’re still waiting for the religious nutjobs to realize that their faith in their specific magic sky fairy doesn’t automatically grant them ownership of everyone that doesn’t.

            Homosexual behavior has been observed in a significant number of animal species. A 2019 paper states that same-sex sexual behavior has been observed in over 1,500 species[1]. However, it’s important to note that the term “homosexuality” as applied to animals can encompass a range of behaviors, including courtship, sexual activity, pair-bonding, and parental activities[1].

            In terms of specific percentages, it varies widely among species. For instance, about 10% of rams (male sheep) refuse to mate with ewes (female sheep) but do readily mate with other rams[1]. Another source suggests that as many as 8% of rams demonstrate sexual attraction to other rams[2]. Among bonobos, roughly 60% of all sexual activity occurs between two or more females[1].

            It’s also worth noting that in many instances, the homosexual behavior is part of the animal’s overall sexual behavioral repertoire, making the animal “bisexual” rather than “homosexual” as the terms are commonly understood in humans[1].

            In conclusion, while it’s difficult to provide a single percentage that applies to all animals, it’s clear that a significant number of species exhibit some form of same-sex sexual behavior. The percentage of individuals within a species that exhibit such behavior can vary widely.

          By shoving homophobia down their throat and shaming them anytime they behave in a way that doesn’t conform to their close-minded views on sexuality and gender.

          Then complaining 20 years later that their kids were indoctrinated by the education system and blaming liberals for the fact that their children went no contact.

            Gay penguins are about 1 in 5

            Male dogs also love humping other dogs regardless of gender too.
