| | What kind of sicko pays money to watch animals copulate? People in Oslo, apparently.
The Oslo museum of national history is hosting an exhibit about gay wildlife. Predictably, this has drawn the ire of conservatives. The idea of the exhibit is to point out that "homosexuality is not against nature".
First off, anybody who believes homosexuality is not natural is naive, uninformed or dense. I guess, in that sense, this exhibit is welcome.
However, I believe the debate about homosexuality is often too simplistic. It has settled into one of unnatural vs natural, or life choice vs genetic fate. Listen, homicidal tendencies can have genetic backing, as can any number of behavioral traits, good and bad. That is not enough to decide whether they should be accepted. I am not saying homosexuality is wrong. I am simply asserting that the debate has to move to more important points, like whether or not it is detrimental to society (which I do not believe it is).
