The Birds and the Bees are Gay October 14, 2006 Jill “Crime against nature” my ass. Thanks to my dear sister Chrissy for the link.
This one will always be my favorite: http://members.aol.com/Attic21/CreatureofDay/whip.html In 15 of the Cnemidophorus species there are no males. They reproduce without fertilization, a process known as parthenogenesis of “virgin birth”. Parthenogenesis is well known in lower animals, such as aphids,bees, and Daphnia but is rare in vertebrates. The offspring of parthenogenic lizards are clones, identical to the mother. There are some advantages to a parthenogenic lifestyle: All members of your species can lay eggs and reproduction is more efficient Good mutations are passed on more efficiently in clones than in sexual species You don’t waste a lot of time and energy searching for a mate (this might not be true in this species, since the females do pair up) One of the surprising things about unisexual whiptail reproduction is that a courtship ritual is still required even though there is only one sex. Unisexual whiptails pair up. In the courtship ritual one female takes the part of a male, while the other takes the role of a female. Later the 2 lizards switch roles. The switch is caused by hormones: estrogen promotes female behavior; progesterone stimulates male behavior. The mating ritual is required for survival of the species: without it few eggs are released (ovulation). Go lesbian lizards!
Not that ancedotes are good for much but… when I was a kid I raised chickens. I had a hen who would display for and then mount other hens, just like she was a rooster. I still think of her as my lesbian chicken. 🙂
Ha! That’s awesome. I don’t see why homosexuality is perceived as so mysterious and unnatural. Most people have sex mostly because it’s fun, not because they want to make a baby. That’s why we have birth control. So why is it such a stretch to think that 2 people who can’t make a baby might want to have sex with each other?
to read about how educated African Americans feel out our youth culture, read http://www.youngblackman.wordpress.com articles include: (1) be the middle class negro that you are (2) domestic violence – prosecute your man (3) black women in clubs – you ask to be disrespected.
All this means is that homosexuals really will want to marry box turtles. We must bar them not only from education, coaching, and the Boy Scouts, but from pet stores, county fairs, zoos (especially petting zoos), and the 4-H club.
