It sounds like a plausible hypothesis (I would tend to agree), but I don't
know what the data says about it. Homosexuality has been found quite often
even among solitary insects, so I don't know if the complexity of the
society is important here (although social animals have of course more
occasions to bond than solitary ones, so homosexuality is more commonly
seen among them).

Although if you look at it, the Bonobos are the really intelligent ones,
having completely replaced violence with sex. What's more intelligent than
that? ;))))))

Note that I understood your point and agree with it. I just thought this
remark was meaningful too :)) . I've always admired the Bonobos, being the
only non-violent high primates in existence.

Not yet ;))) .

That's the problem with life: there are so many interesting things
everywhere in the world that a single lifetime is far from enough. With a
little luck, I'll become enlightened enough in this life to remember this
incarnation when I get to the next one ;))) .
