You won't be able to ignore the facts forever!! Everyone!! If she ignores this again just copy and paste it and post it again untill she notices it!

Dogs...what about fish, snakes, birds, cats...

"Silo and Roy are, to anthropomorphize a bit, gay penguins. When offered female companionship, they have adamantly refused it."

Those are your birds right there...

"Roy and Silo are hardly unusual. Milou and Squawk, two young males, are also beginning to exhibit courtship behavior, hanging out with each other, billing and bowing. Before them, the Central Park Zoo had Georgey and Mickey, two female Gentoo penguins who tried to incubate eggs together. And Wendell and Cass, a devoted male African penguin pair, live at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island. Indeed, scientists have found homosexual behavior throughout the animal world."
MORE ABOUT BIRDS:
"Among birds, for instance, studies show that 10 to 15 percent of female western gulls in some populations in the wild are homosexual. Females perform courtship rituals, like tossing their heads at each other or offering small gifts of food to each other, and they establish nests together. Occasionally they mate with males and produce fertile eggs but then return to their original same-sex partners. Their bonds, too, may persist for years."





How about monkeys?

"Bonobos, apes closely related to humans, are wildly energetic sexually. Studies show that whether observed in the wild or in captivity, nearly all are bisexual, and nearly half their sexual interactions are with the same sex. Female bonobos have been observed to engage in homosexual activity almost hourly."

"Mr. Bagemihl said homosexual behavior had been documented in some 450 species."

"He asserts that while same-sex behavior is sometimes found in captivity, it is actually seen more frequently in studies of animals in the wild.

"Male and female rhesus macaques, a type of monkey, also exhibit homosexuality in captivity and in the wild. Males are affectionate to each other, touching, holding and embracing. Females smack their lips at each other and play games like hide-and-seek, peek-a-boo and follow the leader. And both sexes mount members of their own sex."

OTHER MAMMALS?
"Among mammals, male and female bottlenose dolphins frequently engage in homosexual activity, both in captivity and in the wild. Homosexuality is particularly common among young male dolphin calves."

THEY EVEN HAVE THREESOMES!!!
"As adults, they cooperate to entice a single female and keep other males from her. Sometimes they share the female, or they may cooperate to help one male."


BOTTOM LINE
"“You have this idea that the animal kingdom is strict, old-fashioned Roman Catholic,” she said, “that they have sex just to procreate.

”In bonobos, she noted, “you see expressions of sex outside the period when females are fertile. Suddenly you are beginning to see that sex is not necessarily about reproduction.”
