Are My Actions Determined?

I have never heard of one case of homosexual animals.
Animals that engage bisexual, what I like to call "available sex", yes there are many records of this BUT no record of any animals engaging SOLELY and EXCLUSIVELY in homosexual sex.
Not that I have head of anyways.

Animals cannot engage in homosexual sex, exclusively, or otherwise. That is my point. By definition, it's only humans that can engage in homosexual sex.

I agree of course, that is why when people say that homosexuality is observe din nature, with primates for example, I call them on it because it is NOT homosexual behavior and is, at best, bisexual.

Do animals always have "consensual sex? PETA's not gonna like the anti-PC answers on that one!

It seems that homosexuality does occur amongst domesticated sheep:

I can't verify that though!

No, it's not bisexual!

Animals cannot be bisexual, BY DEFINITION!!!!!!

There is really no such thing as homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual or the like. These are terms invented by humans and ascribe certain exhibited behaviour. Humans like to box things in, box people in with labels, especially since the dark shroud of behaviourism came to dominate much of psychology in 20th century.

We become what we do, rather than who we are because to ascribe a "who" is considered to being harking back to that old and silly idea of a "soul" existing which would render psychology non-objective, non-experimental and unscientific.

Rather, if we drop this pretense that a separate consciousness we call an "I" is illusury (doesn't really exist), drop the unintuitive falsehood that all our decisions boil down to this or that chemical reaction, then matters become very simple. That is, humans are sexual creatures who feel sexual urges generated by our natural physiology. Such sexuality can be expressed in many ways, both wrong and right.

So then, we don't need to create an infinite amount of labels to say this person is that-sexual and that person is this-sexual, we just understand humans are all sexual creatures and we can express that in many diverse ways. Done.

The issue is determination.
When two male chimps ( since activities like this have been observed and reported) sexual stimulate each other, that is NOT homosexual activity UNLESS they exclusively do that and do NOT EVER do that with females.
IF they do "get it on" with females also it means they are, what we would define as, bisexual - they have sexual realtions with BOTH genders.

Um... God says that man sleeping with another man is wrong. I guess He made it up

Well, according to that view, since God only stated that men sleeping with men is wrong does that mean that women sleeping with women is ok?

Homosexual activity is wrong because it is a sin and it is a sin because it goes against what is good and ideal for the indvidial human and the species.

Homosexual, and bisexual, are terms exclusive to humanity BY DEFINITION. You keep trying to get around that.

Of course God "made it up". He makes up all the rules, Stu!

Duh!

So , what do you call same-sex sexual activity between primates, for example?

Aha! Trying to trap me with a trick question, I see!
As an evilutionist, you believe humans are primates.

You can't get me that easily!!!
