Homosexuality
Homosexuality also refers to a person’s sense of identity based on those attractions, related
Behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions. Scientists
do not yet know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they theorize that is caused by a
complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences and do not view it

widespread support, scientists favor biologically-based theories.
Homosexual and bisexual behaviors occur in a number of other animal species. Such
behaviors include sexual activity, courtship, affection, pair bonding and parenting,
and widespread; a 1999 review by researcher shows that homosexual behavior has been
documented in about 500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms. Animal sexual behavior
takes many different forms, even within the same species. The motivations for and implications
of those behaviors have yet to be fully understood, since most species have yet to be fully
studied, according to the researcher, the animal kingdom it with much greater sexual diversity
including homosexual, bisexual and nonproductive sex, then the scientific community and
society at large have previously been willing to accept.
Bisexuality

gender identity, which is also known as pansexuality.
Bisexuality has been observed in various human societies and elsewhere in the animal kingdom

unit cohesion, and encourage heroic tactics as men vied to impress their lovers.
Alfred Kinsey conducted the first large surveys of homosexual behavior in the USA during
the 1940s. The results shocked the readers of his day because they made same-sex behavior
and attractions seem so common. Many non-human animal species exhibit bisexual behavior
Examples of mammals and the birds that display such behavior include bonobo, orca, and the bottlenose
dolphin. (Birds) gulls and Humboldt penguins. Fish is flatworms.
Asexuality
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire
for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation or the lack thereof. may also be
categorized more widely to include a broad spectrum of asexual sub-identities. Asexuality is
distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy, which are behavioral and
generally motivated by factors such as an individual’s personal, social, or religious
beliefs, Sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be” enduring”. Some
asexual people engage in sexual activity despite lacking sexual attraction or desire for sex, due to
a variety of reasons, such as a desire to pleasure themselves or romantic partners, or a desire
to have children.
A researcher posits that there has always been an asexual people kept a low profile. Sometimes
used as grounds for divorce or to rule a marriage void. Asexuality unlike homosexuality, has
never been illegal, and it has usually gone unnoticed. However, in the 21th century , Asexuality
communities provide support and information that allows newly identified asexual to move from
self-clarification to identifying on a communal level, which can empower, because they now
have something to associate with, which gives normality to this overall socially-isolating
situation.
