Homosexual Animals
To me homosexual behavior would be between humans, because Homo like Soylent Green is people.
But Wiki uses homosexual behavior and bisexual behavior for other animals too.
Even if it isn't scientifically or grammatically correct most people would grasp the meaning.
Wiki has a list of animals that have been observed exhibiting one of those two behaviors, some more strongly than others. Every damn animal on the list had one or more links(Lion had 4 or 5) which I left off but you can easily go to Wiki if you're curious.

Re: Homosexual Animals
Homo means "same" as well as "man" or "human"
It would make the long list longer, but shouldn't "animal" include birds and fish, not just mammals?

Re: Homosexual Animals
What about Insects and Aracnids they demand to be included in this also.

Same? Where the hell does that come from it's not in any of the dictionaries I can find online.
OK, I found it, Greek prefix in biology. Since I ain't talking Greek it's superfluous to the post. Homo R Us.
This list is OBSERVED and described in a linkable location. If you want to add an insect or fish, observe and write.
Fuck it.

Re: Homosexual Animals
Not just biology. It's the etymology of "homogenize", "homogeneous" or "homonym".

Re: Homosexual Animals
I will say (not having read that book) that associating homosexuality with flamboyance probably is a homo-as-in-human thing.

Re: Homosexual Animals
There are tons of examples where a prefix means one thing in its Latin root, and another in its Greek. Ped- means "foot" in Latin, which is where we get pedal, pedestrian, centipede. But in Greek ped- means "child," which is where we get pediatrician, pedantic, pedophile. (Annoyingly, "foot" in Greek is the only slightly different pod-, which is where we get podiatrist and podium. English is stupid.)
