I’ve heard this random theory that everyone is naturally pansexual (or asexual of course, though this not specified in the original theory (the original theory was a short Discord message, I’m expanding on it massively)), and that attraction only to particular sexes/genders/presentations etc. is a social construct, and that preference for particular traits or presentations is what being “straight” or “gay” or “bi” or “pan” acually is. I think this is reasonable and likely be true, but of course it could also not be. The “but reproduction instinct” counterpoint doesn’t actually hold up against actual nature. There are many instances of same sex attraction in animals. I wonder, are the animals “gay” (same sex attraction only), are they “bi” (attraction to males and attraction to females), or are they “pan” (attraction does not take sex into account or has some but little regard for it). Probably some of each, I wonder what the proportions are. Telling between bi and pan may be difficult in this case. This definitely needs research. www.worldwildlife.org/…/are-there-queer-animals/ www.discoverwildlife.com/…/can-animals-be-gay
