Damien, this may surprise some here, but farm people or those who grew up
around a lot of animals have known of it all along.  As a child I witnessed
gay male rabbits for instance.  A friend had a female beagle that would
mount your leg and attempt to copulate if you let her, which is an example
both of presumably homosexual behavior and bestiality in a beast.  Nature
does things like that.  If otherwise, we would have a hard time explaining
its absence.
