The BBC has an interesting account of reactions to the homoanimals display at the Natural History Museum in Oslo. This is the exhibit in which some 51 animals in various homosexual relationships are displayed - and there is documentation that some 500 species have been studied and experience the same thing.
What is interesting about all of this is how this research has been swept under the rug for so long, no doubt the censored sort of product which con-servatives call "moral" correctness. It never fails to amaze me to see the extent fundies will go to eliminate all mention of our reality.
Anyway, here is the story:

Curators say a Norwegian exhibition on homosexuality among animals has been well received, despite initial indications of strong opposition.
The Oslo Natural History Museum opened the show last week and says it has been well attended, not least by families.
Organisers reported early criticism of the project, and being told by one opponent they would "burn in hell".
But there has been strong interest in an aspect of animal behaviour the museum says is quite common.
It says homosexuality has been observed among 1,500 species, and that in 500 of those it is well documented. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6066606.stm
