In the long debate on whether homosexuality is “natural”, “normal”, etc. it can be a useful to have these examples on animal behavior as part of campaign argumentation.

We nevertheless suggest to do more research and provide quotes from trusted institutions. GSN is arguably NOT a trusted source to homophobes. And the much cited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Bagemihl is often the only reference on the subject. It has to be noted though that although he is an academic, he is also a gay advocate, which minimizes his credibility with the public.
Also, at the end of the day: since when do animals provide justification for human behavior???
From Arts and Feminism
Here’s a really great innovative action that might be of some inspiration!
The Art+Feminism Wikipedia ‘edit-a-thon’ that took place on International Women’s Day helped create hundreds of new articles about female artists, who were previously underrepresented on the site.
Wikipedia is a leading source of knowledge for people across the world, and I would LOVE to see a similar action taken to promote LGBT history. In fact, if anyone would like to help organise something similar I would love to hear from them!
