In respect to the '''homosexuality in animals myth''', there is currently interest on whether homosexual behavior is or is not [[zoology|zoologically]] "natural." This is largely a sterile debate because behavior is not necessarily moral even if "natural;" because the nature of human beings is not necessarily the same as the nature of other species, and because it is not at all clear when an observed behavior can be counted as "sexual," or as implying a sexual "orientation." Also, [[Creation Ministries International]] wrote on this subject of whether or not there is [[homosexuality]] in the animal kingdom: "There is...documented proof of [[cannibalism]] and rape in the animal kingdom, but that [[Appeal to Nature|doesn’t make it right]] for humans."<ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2774</ref>

{{Cquote|Although homosexual behavior is very common in the [[animal]] world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity.}}
