Another reason I am PROUD to live in Massachusetts and (formerly) Boston. :)

Same-sex couples turn up in nature too!...

Thou art no Romeo
Famed swan couple is all-female

well if the two swans want baby swans maybe one of them should get artificially inseminated although I hate the thought of them introducing a "Romeo" just because there's no male involved. It sounds the swans are already mated so that can only lead to trouble.

I don't think they should introduce a "Romeo" either - at ALL! It's obvious they don't need it!(him)
Live and let live. They can always get a 'donor'. heh. ")

exactly :) and somehow I doubt it'll matter which one carries the babies. I think it would be wonderful for two lesbian swans to raise cygnets :D

Yay, queer visibility! Homosexuality in animals are not uncommon in nature at all, it just tends to be under reported. Researchers are often reluctant to document same-sex couples in nature as such, and nature documentaries don't tend to simply cut out footage. Despite the bias, there is a surprisingly large amount of documentation. Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity is a good book on this subject (the link goes to the Salon article discussing the book).

COOL. thank you! :)

That. Is. So. Awesome.
I like the idea of having the egg artificially fertilized so they can become same-sex parents. :)
