    It is not in any way unnatural. No species have been found that do not exhibit homosexual behaviour, except those that exhibit no sexual behaviour at all.

    In the wildlife documentaries I have seen it would be quite difficult to have the energy for embellishment, I mean, I would be knackered after the chasing her through the woods part...

    I see they gave the Helen Rollison award at SPOTY to a gay man for running 400 odd marathons in the same number of days. Quite an achievement for anyone but even more so for a gay man, have you seen the way they run? This is satire as I know some people are incapable of spotting it!

    That really was an incredible achievement though, up there with Goodwin's year record. As for the whole homophobia in sport thing, I'm not sure it's the big issue that people think it is and that it is more a fear of the reaction than the reality. As someone else suggested it is possibly led more by agents and other hangers on that worry it might affect their earnings.

    Does this include rape?

    He was even interviewed on Radio 4 a few weeks ago. Bigad!! makes your blood boil doesn't it! Is there no corner of decent society that the blighters won't wriggle into?

    That was also satire and am pointing this out for the same reason as him above

    Mallard ducks are involved in homosexual necrophilia, so I don't think that line of argument on either side has much credence.

    With a dead mallard? if I've ever been that drunk I was probably face down by that point.
    Aah, obviously not that uncommon. Must be the origin of the phrase in Rick's comment.

    What is the technical term for the fear a gay duck is watching you?

    Sorry. I'm told this is an outdated stereotype of a duck but I'm sure he's watching.

    It was only one observation of this behaviour in a single mallard in Rotterdam. Hope I've not disappointed anyone.

    A report of homosexual behaviour in penguins was suppressed for nearly a hundred years for fear of the effect it would have on the public if published.

    Jeez, surely anyone who has seen penguins walk could have guessed. There was also that film where they were tap dancing, has any straight creature ever tap danced?

    Gay Mallard into S&M and necrophilia?! Holy batshit, the therapy sessions must cost a fortune. I mean that's what you should do to these social misfits - electric shock treatment, strong medicine and boot camp...when I was a boy, we had none of this. We went to church 4 times a week and people acted responsibly. If you got molested by a Catholic Bishop, you just put up and shut up. None of that squealing to the press big woman's blouse stuff you see now...

    The first question that always springs into my mind when I read of one of these is what do they do for a living, I'd be happy to cycle 100 mile a day for 401 days if I could afford to.

    Apologies Garry, as someone who went to the university of life and started working at 15 I have no idea what a "postgrad student" is.

    Bit of context.
    Homosexuality in sport, particularly football, could lead to disgusting abuse from some quarters of 'fans'
    Homosexuality in religion can lead to a death sentence.

    He sold his house and gave up his job to do it and raise awareness of homophobic bullying, that he himself suffered, and raise money for like minded charities. Maybe one day he'll have helped ensure that people's first thought on meeting a gay man doesn't involve waste disposal units.

    It's all them university students that have screwed this country up. Politicians in my day were proper politicians. They didn't mince their words and those universities are breeding grounds for gay sex, prostitution and drugs. It's just obscene that all they do is party night after night on borrowed money form the government that half of them don't even pay back. It makes me mad that our suffering NHS is busting at the seams full of long term sicko's, benefit scroungers and foreigners and we can't afford to fund the NHS?! I'd get students to have to save up for studying before going to University and then the money we save could make Britain great again.

    Is that like a Doctorate Degree? Or is an especially honest one?
