Here's an article entitled Birds and bees may be gay about a new museum exhibition in Norway documenting homosexuality in the animal world.

The exhibition's project leader acknowledged that homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them. Entitled "Against Nature", provides many examples of incidences of the same sex animal behaviour of insects, birds and mammals thus proving that this is a totally natural occurence in nature. It looks like it's not just a human trait after all.

I've always thought that animals have very strong sexual urges and that it would only be natural for homosexual behaviour to exist as well despite the danger that it would create a genetic dead-end for some species. Apparently though, this activity may actually strengthen the gene pool because it appears that acceptance within the pack and thus help their chance of later mating with females.

Whatever the reason, I find this quite fascinating. It would certainly blow the whole "homosexuality is wrong" theory out of the water if it were the norm for homosexual behaviour to exist.
