Do you cud here often?

Lesbian cows! Tonight on the way home, I saw lesbian cows, and that's not an epithet. I'm talking about bovine ladies mounting each other. Frotting friesans!

On getting home after cruising the supermarket seeing some of their sisters sliced, diced, minced and wrapped in plastic, I decided to lean on my trusted friend, Google, and searched bovine+lesbianism (Join in at home, kids!). Surprisingly homosexuality in the animal kingdom is a hot topic operationalised for all number of arguments - the banal ... genetics might suppose there are shared traits across species ... the existence of God ... whether lesbian cows would go to hell, Moophispoheles! When Hell friesans over! sorry couldn't resist the puns ... my favourite quote though from some discussion board was this one:

To those that argue there are homosexual mammels [sic] in the animal kingdom...yes this is true but who is to say that the same evolutionary mistake cannot occur in the animal world as well

and my favourite article was this one ... yet another chance to bash scientific research ...

What is more important to note might be that we seem to need to operationalise the animal kingdom to support or degenerate arguments which solely concern humans. Why not take our cue from the other cows, who calmy stood by chewing away, who didn't say "aha, nature over nurture!" 'Or that proves it, god loves homosexual holsteins!"
