Exhibition Says Birds And Bees May Be Gay

According to the world's first museum exhibition about homosexuality among animals, the birds and the bees may be gay.

With documentation of gay or lesbian behaviour among giraffes, penguins, parrots, beetles, whales and dozens of other creatures, the Oslo Natural History Museum says human homosexuality shouldn't be viewed as "unnatural".

"We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear -- homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom, it is not against nature", a statement at the exhibit said.

Geir Soeli, the project leader says: "Homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them".

"The sexual urge is strong in all animals... It's a part of life, it's fun to have sex," Soeli says of the reasons for homosexuality or bisexuality among animals.

And not everyone is happy about it. One radical Christian group says organisers of the exhibition should "burn in hell".
