I love WebMD

Apparently, people think its weird for female dogs to hump, and that if they do they must be lesbian or something (not that that would be bad). According to WebMD, though, humping is normal for both sexes. Males tend to do it more often than females, but both sexes do it. And it doesn't always have a thing to do with what they're humping against, since even furniture will do sometimes.

Watching your dog get personal with the new sofa may make you cringe, but it's not abnormal. Many dogs discover that humping feels good or relieves stress, so they keep at it. Both males and females are known to indulge in this behavior, though males do it more often. Reid says it's fine to look the other way in most cases. "But if they're humping family members or guests who come to the house, behavior modification is in order." (via WebMD ) It should be #5.

Although, dogs can still be bisexual or homosexual. Humping, however, is not a sign indicative of either one, if its just simply normal behavior in the way that it is described above. There are many, many, many species of animals, dogs included, that exhibit homosexual or bisexual tendencies and animals just simply don't care. :p So, apparently, Nature isn't very homophobic. The only homophobic animals seem to be humans.


However, my point is that its not a big deal in the animal kingdom to be homosexual or bisexual. Or to be straight. Humans are the only animals with actual hang-ups over this.

Here's the shocking new truism: In the wilds of nature, to not have some level of homosexual/bisexual behavior in a given species is turning out to be the exception, not the rule.

This is a little snippet from a 2009 article I found on CommonDreams.org, which they took from the San Francisco Chronicle. It can be found here.


So, this sort of behavior is normal in the animal kingdom. Humans are animals. It stands to reason that humans, like other apes, are also subject to the same sexualities found in 1500 other species of animals. And, even if you don't believe humans descended from apes, it still has merit. Why? Well, because most Christians whom I talk to (even those in my own family), say that homosexuality is unnatural in animals, too, and that it isn't what nature or God intended. Well,perhaps the Bible (and probably other holy texts from other religions) does have something to say against humans having homosexual relations (although Jesus never mentioned it once). But, obviously neither nature nor God had a problem with animals getting freaky with the same sex or multiple partners.


Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a Christian. But, I notice that the majority of people I hear speaking out against LGBTs and their rights and equality tend to be Christians (or at least they have the loudest mouths). So, that's why I bothered with this post at all. That, and I just thought this information was interesting.
