The denial that [[Homosexuality and choice|homosexuality is a choice]] by homosexual activists and [[liberal]]s is similar to the behavior [[fat acceptance movement]] activists who insist that being overweight is never a choice and ostracize ex-overweight people (see: [[fat acceptance movement]] for details).

Researchers claim that the reason for homosexual behavior in non-social animals is related to dominance, preparing for future heterosexual encounters, to expel low-quality [[sperm]], and to engage in reproductive suppression.<ref>LEVAN, K. E., et al. “Testing Multiple Hypotheses for the Maintenance of Male Homosexual Copulatory Behaviour in Flour Beetles.” ''Freshwater Biology'', Wiley/Blackwell (10.1111), 13 Oct. 2008, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2008.01616.x.</ref> Salamanders were inspected in 90 different pairs. The males would mimic females in order to trick the male into depositing unprofitable [[spermatophore]]s. The rival male wastes his sperm, aiding the mimicker in spreading his genes to an actual female.<ref>Arnold, Stevan J. “Sexual Behavior, Sexual Interference and Sexual Defense in the Salamanders Ambystoma Maculatum, Ambystoma Tigrinum and Plethodon Jordani.” ''Freshwater Biology'', Wiley/Blackwell (10.1111), 26 Apr. 2010, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1439-0310.1976.tb00970.x.</ref> These examples show that non-social animals may have homosexual tendencies, but are acting aggressively in order to distribute their genes and to suppress the reproduction of other males.
Macaques were studied engaging in same-sex behavior. However, a female may engage in female-female mounting, but that doesn't mean she isn't interested in males. Females often mount males, apparently to encourage them to mate more. Once they had learned this behavior, it was easy for them to apply it to other females as well.<ref>Vasey, Paul L., et al. “Male–Female and Female–Female Mounting in Japanese Macaques: A Comparative Study of Posture and Movement.” ''SpringerLink'', Springer, Dordrecht, 26 Apr. 2006, http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-005-9007-1.</ref> We may never find a wild animal that is strictly homosexual in the way some humans are.
