Gay Giraffes

I was just reading an interesting article from the Times UK about a museum in Oslo that just opened a new exhibit featuring many examples of homosexual behavior in animals, including some extremely gay giraffes.

It reminded me of a great episode of Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher where Maher had a religious windbag on the show, along with Michael Shermer (of the Skeptics Society), and a few other guests. (Although now that I search for the transcript, Shermer might not have been on this particular episode.)


The religious nut was explaining how "unnatural" homosexuality was, and using that as his justification for judging it immoral. At the very end of the show, while the credits were rolling, Maher quoted a magazine article stating that virtually every mammalian species that has been studied exhibits homosexual behavior.

The religious nut shouted "what is that, some gay magazine?".

Maher calmly replied, "No, it's called 'Nature'."

It was an absolutely classic moment of a great show, and one that many people missed because they didn't watch the credits. :)
