Dolphins: Gay and Bi-sexual orientation discovered by science

For all of the sexually repressed right-wingers who believe contrary to facts that GOD objects to any sexual orientation other than monogamous heterosexuality, here is more evidence that they have no idea of the mysterious ways and variety in which God or nature operates.  Clearly if this is the way in which nature is created, a spectrum of sexuality in man and other animals serves a function which we are only beginning to appreciate and understand, and is not EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEvil or an abomination to creation, but rather an important part of its diversity.

Dolphins are credited with an exceptional intelligence, and clearly as well they demonstrate the kind of problem solving and altruistic behavior, as well as possibly possessing self awareness that we now understand is not the unique province of humans as well.  In this regard they appear to exceed the qualities we think of as inherently part of humanity rather better than some of our more bigoted regressive human clergy who find God's creations either an abomination or a dangerous choice.

from MSN:
Researchers find bisexual and exclusively gay dolphins
Dolphins are considered such radiantly happy creatures that "dolphin assisted therapy" (aka, hanging out with dolphins) is practiced as a way to treat human physical and mental suffering. Well, maybe an open society is part of the dolphin's allure, too. According to one study of 120 bottlenose dolphins in Australia, researchers found a lot of male dolphins enjoy "extensive bisexuality." And not just that, but some pairs engage in "exclusive homosexuality," reports Discovery News. Pairs, trios or small groups of male dolphins will form exclusive groups that are sexual, social, and sustainable. One herd of seven males spent 17 years together in an intimate and affectionate clique.
