in the jungle

   The National History Museum in Norway currently has an exhibit about gay animals. Apparently the phenomenon is "well documented" in 500 animal species. So the museum makes the case that homosexuality is found naturally in nature, and that it's not something that is inherantly against nature.
   So this apparently has some people up in arms. "Conservative Christians are accusing the museum of displaying pornography, according to Reuters." OK, who considers the study of animal sex behavior, whether hetero or homo, to be pornography? Webster defines pornography as: "the depiction of erotic behavior intended to cause sexual excitement." Exactly who considers this a turn on? And so I ask, what led these people to think this is pornography? Many people classify this as science, at least the ones who don't find it it too exciting...
