450 species can't be wrong

Hmmm.
From the Seattle Times:
"From whales to buffalo to Caspian terns, a profusion of animals exhibit behavior that in humans would be called gay.
In his book "Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity," Seattle biologist Bruce Bagemihl estimates 450 species display some form of homosexuality, which can include same-sex courtship, displays of affection, sexual activity, long-term pairings and parenting.

To paraphrase the old Cole Porter song has it, birds do it, bees do it, bonobos on their knees do it...

To be a good charitable being is to procure a kind of openness to the world, an gift to group unsure things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly impressive about the fettle of the principled passion: that it is based on a conviction in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a treasure, something kind of dainty, but whose mere precise attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
