Let's not jump the gun. According to many studies, a much larger percentage of the male population has had homosexual encounters than they would ever admit in public.
"American Psychological Association Discredits 'Ex-Gay' Movement"New Orleans, Louisiana
- The American Psychological Association on Friday issued a stinging rebuke of the so-called ex-gay movement following a demonstration by members of several organizations that claim homosexuality is a choice that can be cured.A small group representing the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) and Exodus International demonstrated in front of the APA convention in New Orleans Friday.
"While the APA continues to play politics with social issues unrelated to its mission, thousands of current and potential patients are being harmed," said Alan Chambers, president of Exodus International, a national "ex-gay" organization.
"We represent those across the country who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction, desire the help of skilled professionals and are instead, being discriminated against because their personal beliefs do not align with that of the APA."
In 1974, the American Psychological Association ceased listing homosexuality as a mental disorder.
The protestors demanded that the APA change its current position.
Immediately after the protest the APA issued a statement reaffirming its stand.
"For over three decades the consensus of the mental health community has been that homosexuality is not an illness and therefore not in need of a cure," the statement said.
"The APA's concern about the positions espoused by NARTH and so-called conversion therapy is that they are not supported by the science. There is simply no sufficiently scientifically sound evidence that sexual orientation can be changed. Our further concern is that the positions espoused by NARTH and Focus on the Family create an environment in which prejudice and discrimination can flourish."
The APA statement was hailed by a group fighting the "ex-gay" movement and "conversion therapy."
"Truth Wins Out applauds the APA for taking a strong stand against quack science and not buckling to a transparent PR campaign designed to politically pressure the APA into abandoning reputable and respectable research," said TWO's Executive Director Wayne Besen.
"Conversion therapy is a contrived 'cure' that is nothing more than Scripture cloaked as science and religion masquerading as research."
Some of the organizations advocating "conversion therapy" use methods that include exorcisms, repossessing a client's Calvin Klein underwear because it is deemed "too gay," taking Prozac and drinking Gatorade in an effort to make men more masculine.

I mean its genetic, but then again you dont see any gay animals do you 😖hifty:
It's already been proven that Homosexuality exists among animals.
Dogs, Cats, Alligators, Geese, Buffalo, Lions, etc.
It exists in all mammals, reptiles, and birds. I don't think there are any Gay Fish tho lol 😆
If you don't believe me, check out Animal Planet and Logo. There were two shows regarding the sexuality of animals. If you don't catch it there, just google it lol

Oh, forget it. You're not worth the time if you actually believe that analogy is valid.

Why don't you give it a try and see what happens. If afterwards you feel inferior then your perspective will be valid.
I suspect most people would become very depressed if they felt even their bedding was better then them, and the pillows had, in fact, dominated them (though I could accept it if the pillow had a satin pillow case.)
Depressed... and maybe a little concerned about their sanity.
Nonhuman animals.
Then I guess it would be dependant on the type of animal, due to sexual urges in many species being driven by imperatives to reproduce. The need to dominate (beyond the alpha-male situation with certain pack animals) doesn't often seem to figure into it. Nor really sexual attraction - far more instinct regarding superior reproductive material.
