Ok.. so perhaps it's not a total museum dedicated to homosexual animals - but it looks like a pretty good sized exhibit. Unless you're in Norway you might be missing the exhibit though. Anyone want to sneak some photos for us?
From male killer whales that ride the dorsal fin of another male to female bonobos that rub their genitals together, the animal kingdom tolerates all kinds of lifestyles.
A first-ever museum display, "Against Nature?," which opened last month at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum in Norway, presents 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality.
Here's the original article (and it's actually pretty interesting - more than an announcement).
Too bad it's not opening up next door to the creationist museum!

Steve, you forgot to mention the first of its kind: Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary debuted on September 3, 1997.
haha.. thats right! thanks ;)
In the Indianapolis Zoo (I was there a few weeks ago... they're open in the winter, go there!), I was in the little desert exhibit they've got, and there were three tortoises "goin' at it".
One of the workers came over and explained to us that the 'top' tortoise was the father, and the two others were his sons. The father was in... well... typical "animals doin' the nasty" position, and was making quite a commotion, while one of his sons had to sit there and take it. The zoo-keeper guy mentioned that it was essentially a dominance thing, and that the father almost always does that, "sometimes all day."
The lizards in the cage seemed to find it very amusing.
Not that there's anything worng with that...
uh, but worng is definitley wrong.
