*berating myself for not adding this earlier*
I'm adding this topic from the website I work with:
Against nature? - an exhibition on animal homosexuality
The first-ever museum exhibition dedicated to gay animals opened at the Natural History Museum in Oslo, October 2006. Homosexuality is a common and widespread phenomenon in the animal world. Most museums have no traditions for airing difficult, concealed, and possibly controversial questions. Homosexuality is certainly such a question.
Read more at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum
The exhibition, which closed on August 17, 2007, was controversial and popular here in Norway.
Have any of you heard of similar exhibitions or planned exhibitions in your local communities or regions?
Also, what thoughts do you have on the issue of non-human homosexuality, on the exclusion / inclusion of the issue within natural sciences education, or on the application of non-human homosexuality as evidence of the naturality of human homosexuality?
