“ Great Debate! ” I love it when users on this site post up debates on this issue. It's helpful to see both sides: the right one as well as the wrong one. It really clarifies things.

“ A hard question indeed ” I wouldn't put too much store in that particular news article. Homosexual behavior has been observed in over 1500 animals species and well-documented in 500 of them.
