8 Animals Species That Are Totally Gay

If being queer is ~ so unnatural ~ why are there so many instances of same-sex behavior in the wild?

World champion boxer Manny Pacquiao came under fire this week after stating in an interview that LGBT people were "worse than animals."

World champion boxer Manny Pacquiao came under fire this week after stating in an interview that LGBT people were "worse than animals."

“It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex?” he said. “Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female … If men mate with men and women mate with women, they are worse than animals.”

The argument that being gay is "unnatural" is far from new, which is puzzling since the animal kingdom is actually teeming with same-sex action.

The argument that being gay is "unnatural" is far from new, which is puzzling since the animal kingdom is actually teeming with same-sex action.

Obviously, no, we can't say if an animal is actually gay, bisexual, or what have you. When discussing animals in the wild, the term "homosexual behavior" is often used as an umbrella term for same-sex courtship, non-reproductive sex , pair bonding, and even parenting. Some species only display a few of these behaviors, while others take part in several — and scientists are only beginning to understand both the evolutionary and genetic implications of same-sex behavior in the animal kingdom. Professor Paul Vasey, who studies Japanese macaque behavior, summed it up nicely when he said, "You can't impose your perspective on the species you're studying. Attempt to understand the world on it's own terms."

Penguins are famous for being the best same-sex parents around:

There are countless stories of awesome same-sex parenting penguins. Roy and Silo, Chinstrap penguins like those pictured above, are one of the most well-known.The pair, both male, made headlines in 1999 after trying to hatch a rock at New York City's Central Park Zoo. Zookeepers ended up providing the couple with a real egg which would hatch to become their chick, Tango.

Sadly the couple would later break up, but nobody said love is easy.

The highly intelligent, social, and curious bonobo happens to be our closest living relative; sharing 98% of our DNA. They also happen to have the most diverse and active sex-life of perhaps any living creature. Bonobos live in large social groups and often take part in sexual activities with other members, regardless of gender. The species has become infamous for their practice of using peace n' love over violence to relieve tension.

Earlier this month, NBC released the first promo for their upcoming tribute to James Burrows, which meant we got to see five of the six Friends cast members together and reunited!

Burrows is an iconic television director who directed 15 episodes of Friends. Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and Jennifer Anniston all showed up to film an NBC special in honor of Burrows. Matthew Perry couldn't make it because he's currently rehearsing for his play, The End of Longing, in London.

NBC

And now the network posted the first full clips of the cast members' interview with Andy Cohen.

To start the interview, Andy Cohen said, "Everyone's wanted a Friends reunion for so long and it took one man to get you all together."

Are You Stinky Enough To Try A New Dating Site Based On Your B.O.

0

The best way to the heart is through the nose.

smell.dating

Are you single af and sick of trying to find someone to smash genitals with based on outdated things like looks, personality, or common interests? Well guess what. You're not really in luck because you'll probably die alone, gradually liquifying into your couch as you are eaten by your own cats. But MAYBE there's some hope: now you can date people just based on their smell.

Smell Dating is an experimental dating service from the artists Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne of Useless Press (a jokey, fun, experimental, digital art group). Daters exchange smelly worn t-shirts, and chose matches based purely on the smell of the shirts.

For $25 (a pittance when you are considering the possibility of true love and/or dying alone) daters receive a t-shirt in the mail, along with instructions to wear it for three days. Smell Dating recommends its clients avoid deodorant or perfume because these mask natural smells, but it's fine to get the shirt smelly with other things that indicate lifestyle choices — like cigarette smoke or a campfire.

After three days, mail back your funky shirt, and you will receive 10 other people's shirts in the mail. Take a strong whiff, and pick the one that gets your motor running. If it's a mutual match, you'll be given each other's phone numbers.

Disney / Via giphy.com

Yes, this is mostly a stunt-y gag. But there is science behind the connection between our sense of smell and our romantic attractions. The Smell Dating team spoke with scientists who study scents, and cite several academic studies as part of their inspiration.

Smell Dating asks for almost no personal info of its daters, not even gender or sexual preference. This is purposely to let your nose guide you. "It's about trusting subconscious intuition and not falling back on inevitable preconceptions and prejudices," Tega Brain told BuzzFeed News. "You can't control what you like the taste or smell of, you have to trust your sensory system."

For now, Smell Dating is limited to 100 people (35 have signed up so far), and is only available in New York City. So, if you're horny, smell terrible, and live by yourself in the one of the most expensive cities in the world, things are looking up for you.

1. Kim Kardashian always blow-dries her jewellery before putting it on.

2. Kourtney Kardashian says the best piece of advice Kris Jenner has ever given her was to "wear a matching bra and underwear."

3. Kris is passionate about table settings. In fact, when she cooks Italian food, she uses her red Hermès china to match the sauce.

4. Khloe recently revealed that she and Lamar had filmed a sex tape during their marriage. She keeps it in her safe.

5. Kim only wears a bikini on overcast days, because bright sunlight will "light up her cellulite."

6. Kris Jenner pitched the idea for a reality show following her family after numerous friends told her they were "crazy" and "entertaining."

7. Ryan Seacrest sent a camera crew to film the Kardashians during a family BBQ. The camera man called him afterwards and said the footage was "golden." And the rest is history.

8. The name Keeping Up With The Kardashians, however, came very late in the process and was only decided right before the show premiered. It came about by chance one day, when one producer said she was "exhausted from keeping up" with the girls.
