Straight up question-- can animals be gay?
So, based on my findings? Uhhh... yes.

And some infographics, if such help:

So here's my question-- if homosexuality is so absolutely common across nature, then what are we doing putting it down so hard when it comes to us naked apes? Like, why is there any stigma whatsoever upon our sexual attraction choices, anyway?
Now, I hate to link to the Evil Empire, but this here dude seemed to offer some insights:

In any case, my current takeaway is this-- whatever one's attraction is upon others, such is completely normal, ordinary and common when it comes to Nature. We know that from the landslide of available evidence seen again & again, as above.
Which suggests to me that if someone's trying to tell you that there's anything wrong with liking whoever you're sexually attracted to, then chances are they're the weirdos from the healthy standpoint of Nature.
So "why are they doing that..?" one might ask. "Who trained them to be so strangely judgemental in the first place?" Those might be some followup questions...
It's a question of definition, all of what you've said is part of what I see as fascism. Fascism boils down to thinking that your group is intrinsically better or more "right" than others, even without justification. The reason homosexuality can seem strange, confusing and unknown is only if it's something foreign to your social group; disliking it for that reason is fascism to me.
Same for hierarchies and orders, it's also another form of fascism.
It's not necessarily extreme, nazi-like, but it is fascism.
You know, I think I remember discussing the meaning of "fascism" with you last week or so, and found it to pretty much be a dead-end. Oh well.
