A new study in Nature Ecology and Evolution is reshaping how we understand sexual diversity in nature. Scientists analyzed 491 primate species and confirmed same-sex sexual behavior in 59. The research found that it appears more often in harsh environments and complex social systems. The findings describe same-sex behavior as a natural response that strengthens bonds, reduces tension, and supports cooperation. It is not an evolutionary mistake. As political voices claim queer lives are unnatural, science says otherwise. Sexual diversity is ancient, widespread, and tied to survival. For our community, this is powerful validation.
