this makes me happy like nothing else could.
"The world is, indeed, teeming with homosexual, bisexual and transgendered creatures of every stripe and feather," Bagemihl writes in the first page of his book. "From the Southeastern Blueberry Bee of the United States to more than 130 different bird species worldwide, the 'birds and the bees,' literally, are queer."

Date: 2003-04-29 03:05 pm (UTC)i swear, i want to rec peter beagle's "folk of the air" to everybody. -everybody-. have you seen "the last unicorn"-- the cartoon, i mean? well, he wrote this book about a musician living in a california college town in the 70s, who gets involved with a bunch of SCA people and there's a bunch of witchery and time-traveling and goddesses incarnate involved.... it's so good. so good. i do not know -anything- about literature if that's not a great book. it's just -that- good (so well-written, vivid, emotional, great plot, hilarious at points, poignant at points, amazing characterization, etcetc).
anyway, one of the gags is that the main character starts out working as a short-order cook in "thumper's", ahahahaha. yes, i'll remember that always. hee ;)
thumper's-- good, high-quality bunny fast-food. bunnies to go. etcetc >:D<
gahd, i love peter beagle <33333333333

Date: 2003-04-29 03:54 pm (UTC)man, i have to be careful or i'll get a reputation ><;;
and you know, i was just restraining myself from rambling on in my pseudo-scientific manner. 'cause i'm bipolar like that and while the article made me all gooey it also added to my biological database and i genuinely think it's of scientific interest, you know?
this really can change a -lot- of things that have been ingrained in biology & psychology & even sociology. one of the main things is that all that -i've- heard before is that some primates (i.e., some monkeys in brazil), have a rampant history of bisexuality and they pretty much fuck indescriminately. the common implication is the bisexuality/homosexuality in the animal kingdom is either because of a lack of a suitable opposite-sex mate (there are cases of frogs or something in south america going "both ways"-- if there's a lack of a suitable partner-- they actually grow a dick-- well, so to speak)-- well, that, or it's a function of their higher brain capacity-- ie, monkeys are more evolved, thus more prone to perversion.
(now is when you realize how much of a geek i am).
but anyway, this is -major-. i dunno, it's somewhat funny to me that everyone's like, "aww that's sweet" without realizing how scientifically and socially huge this sort of thing is. i mean, it's a well-known fact that homosexuality's biological roots have always been questioned and contested and it's a whole big deal, right? i mean, a lot of queers like to stick with the "it's choice, baby" idea-- ie, nurture (like
so any evidence on the biological basis of queerness is very important, you know? it's not just sunshine and daisies, y'know?
it makes me happy not because it's cute (althought there's that). it makes me happy because this is one step closer to queer liberation, dammit.
y'know.
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!!!!
heh.
