Most Mammals Are Pretty F$%king Gay!

I love reading the various news stories, especially the human interest ones that stay far away from politics…or do they? This past week I read an article titled, “Turns Out Most Animals Are Pretty Frickin Gay.” Of course that title caught my eye and I knew I had to blog on it. Given the all-out assault on the LGBTQ+ community, I’m sure this article sends the right-wingers into a tailspin. I can almost see the Moms for Liberty clutching their fake pearls. I guess the term, hot monkey sex is perfect for Sapphic Fiction!

Here are the salient points from the article:

Same-sex activity or behavior has been recorded in 1,500 different species from birds to bees.
80% of mammals are sexually fluid. Mammals are by far the largest group to engage in same-sex activities.
The kinds of activities recorded include courtship, mounting (I’ve seen my cats do that), genital contact, copulation, and pair bonding.
The term sexually fluid seemed to be important because many of the species who exhibited same-sex behavior also engaged in same-sex activity with an opposite gender. Animals don’t really label themselves! It seems that only humans feel the need to slap a label on something! Thus same-sex activities in animals don’t dictate sexual orientation.
Researchers asked the question why? Since same-sex activities are considered an “evolutionary conundrum.” Those activities don’t ensure the continuation of the species.
The theorized reason why, was the most startling hypothesis to me. The researchers believe that same-sex activities play a role in “maintaining social relationships and mitigating conflict.” Maybe we should elect more LGBTQ+ folks or have more LGBTQ+ ambassadors in the world. It has to be better than what’s happening in the world right now!

Since all my books are pretty f$%king gay, that’s my tie-in to have you check them out by clicking the links below. So, I’ve got mammals beat by 20%! You won’t find a single book of mine that doesn’t have a romance between women, with lots of same-sex activity!
