    Has homosexuality been redefined?

    I thought huddling together for warmth in cold weather was a survival technique: a method for staying alive, rather than counting as a sex act.

    And two males bringing up an orphaned child seems like a jolly nice thing to do for the child and the community. If an orphanage is staffed by one sex, does that make the whole place a massive L/G orgy even if nobody is having sex with anyone else?

      The picture is literally of two penguins kissing.

          I’ve seen birds kissing, and I can’t come up with any nonromantic explanation for it. Also they only do it when they think I’m not watching.

            You should start streaming some old Animal Planet shows. Grooming each other is a big part of social bonding among many different animals.

            Also, the second part is because they’ve seen what you do when you’re alone and know you’re a perv.
