The first half is such a great look at how natural scientists have been making excuses for centuries to avoid acknowledging the simple fact that diverse sexualities are common in the animal kingdom, with a detailed analysis of the relevant historical and scientific issues that is so useful in discussions with folks who insist homosexuality is "not natural." It really, really is natural. The 2nd half is a fascinating collection of discussions of the literature documenting scientific reports of gay and bisexual behavior in an astonishing variety of species, with a couple hundred mammals and birds each getting a 2-4 page discussion of exactly how they've been documented having what humans would consider queer sexual encounters.

In our human arrogance, from the 50s when I was studying Biology ...haha ...we were taught how exclusive humans were with our logic, creativity, tool use , problem solving, family values etc...and there was no equal evidence of these things in the rest of the Animal kingdom so God made us all above them and much superior to them. haha.. Well the new science sure has revealed that the separations we used to hold as a rule,...seem to be diminishing as time goes by...!!!! It is a shame this information was not widely available in my youth...great book...

A very thorough study of sex as a biological element which is just as much for pleasure as it is prcreation.

The first part of the book is an independent 262 page exposition of homosexual, bisexual and transgendered animal sexuality. If you want to know what the birds and the bees are doing when Jerry Falwell isn't looking, this is the place to find out. Don't expect to find traditional family values in these pages. What you will discover instead is that animals aren't doing it for Darwin, they are doing it for fun. There are amazingly detailed descriptions, pictures and illustrations here of animals having all kinds of sex (that will amaze you), and most of it isn't for procreation. More interesting to me, though, is the speculation on the sexual origins of language and culture in chapter 2 and the devastating examination in chapter 3 of bigotry in the biological sciences in over two hundred years of observations of animal homosexuality. Bagemihl shows, for example, that in science as in society, there's a presumption of heterosexuality. Field researchers have commonly assumed, with no independent verification, that whenever they see a pair of animals engaging in what appears to be sexual behavior they are observing a male-female pair. Conversely, whenever they observe a known same-sex pair engaging in behavior that would be classified as sexual between a male and female, they classify it in some other way. This protocol largely precludes the gathering of data about animal homosexuality even when it's being observed. In some cases, though, it resulted in published studies being repudiated as much as 20 years later when it was discovered that what was presumed to be heterosexual behavior in a population was really entirely homosexual. (It's an interesting fact that in some species heterosexuality has never been observed by scientists even when they go to great lengths to observe it over periods of many years.) Also, a lot of animal homosexuality that has been recognized as such has simply been excluded from the published reports. As a result, there is still widespread belief among scientists and the public that animal homosexuality is rare or nonexistent. People will believe otherwise after reading this book. Chapter 4 looks at the attempts to explain away animal homosexuality and chapter 5 considers arguments on the other side that try to attach evolutionary value to homosexuality. Bagemihl rejects all the proposals on both sides, demonstrating the weakness of all the explanations and typically showing that they are plainly inconsistent with the evidence of animal behavior. Finally, he arrives at the question that the reader has been waiting for for almost 200 pages: "Why does same-sex activity persist--reappearing in species after species, generation after generation, individual after individual--when it is not 'useful'?" His answer is not to show that it is useful, but rather to treat the plain existence of homosexuality as a reductio ad absurdum argument against the biologists' assumption that only traits that contribute to reproduction will survive (i.e. are useful). In pursuing this line of thought Begemihl offers interesting descriptions of animals that are nonbreeders, animals that suppress reproduction, animals that segregate the sexes so that reproduction can't happen, animals that engage in birth control, and animals that engage in other nonreproductive behaviors. He also shows that a lot of the sex that actually occurs is not for reproduction, but apparently for pleasure. All of this he believes calls for a new conception of the natural biological world. The last chapter describes some ideas for a new paradigm, which he calls Biological Exuberance and I must say that it is much less convincing than the rest of the book. It is interesting nonetheless. Much of the last chapter is a description of the myths about animals of native North Americans, the tribes of New Guinea, and indigenous Siberian people. When I started reading this chapter I began to wonder if I had accidentally picked up a different book, but in the end he makes a connection between the myths and biological reality. In fact, he shows that some of these myths contain more facts about animals than you can find in any scientific text. Some of the most bizarre of the myths turn out to be true. So where does it end? In mystery. "Our final resting spot--the concept of Biological Exuberance--lies somewhere along the trajectory defined by these three points (chaos, biodiversity, evolution), although its exact location remains strangely imprecise." "Nothing, in the end, has really been 'explained'--and rightly so, for it was 'sensible explanations' that ran aground in the first place." That's not a very satisfactory answer to my mind, but the book is nonetheless a source of many interesting phenomena and ideas. I enjoyed it greatly. I expect most people who read this long book will do as I have done--read part one completely and then selectively read about some particular animals in part two. The second part is an encyclopedia of the queer sexuality of approximately 300 species of mammals and birds. An appendix contains a long list of reptiles, amphibians, fishes, insects, spiders and domesticated animals in which homosexuality has been observed.

Have youever had a conversation with someone who vehemently opposes homosexuality, and uses as one of their arguments that "it isn't natural"? If, as is frequently the case, "not natural" is defined as "animals don't do it", this book pretty thoroughly debunks that claim. The first 250 pages of this book is a pretty general overview of the subject, detailing some of the historical difficulties in finding good research on the subject due to the biases and/or disinterest of researchers. The second half (roughly) of the book is a very successful attempt to alleviate that problem for future researchers; it gives detailed, specific descriptions of homosexual (as well as non-reproductive heterosexual) behavior in dozens of species. For the casual reader, this section may get somewhat repetitive and boring after a while; if so, skimming it for a general feel for the subject may be sufficient if one feels disinclined to read all the way through it. But I found it fascinating that not only does homosexual activity occur in numerous mammal and bird species in roughly similar proportions to its incidence in humans, but in other species, it is actually the primary method of sexual expression! Don't believe me? Read this book, then argue with the research, if you can.

Complete with hundreds of well-documented examples, Canadian biologist Dr. Bruce Bagemihl presents the ideal response to the homophobic provocateur that says homosexuality is un-natural. In fact, the book shows how natural homosexuality is in the natural world. Man is the only animal with gay members? Hardly. All sexually reproducing species have not only homosexual representation, but transgendered, lesbian, and much more. If you're looking for a real eye-opener, this is it. Highly recommended... - lc

Not a fun read, but there is so much information here. I'm glad I got and read it. The information is based on scientific studies, peer-reviewed work. All of the references are included. I thought that was very important, especially for such a potentially red-flag subject.

This is the most hilarious book I've ever bought, when the book arrived I for one didn't know what the hell it was but when my wife pointed out it was about gay animals and their mannerisms it was then that I finally realised Guinness is a powerful demon and must be treated with respect and I wasn't a gay beastafile. Phew😏

Poor quality photographs.
I bought this for a friend. I'm sure that the text is interesting but the photographs are extremely grainy and poorly produced. Somewhat disappointing.

How gay is this animal?
Excellent book. Just choose an animal to learn about how it handles gender and sexual orientation. Shame its so expensive.
