gay % densities

with friends

While at work one of my co-workers told me her philosophy on gays. She said, that just like in the animal kingdom, when population densities increase, there are an increased number of gay people. I laughed out loud.

She said, no, seriously, studies in mice show that when populations get denser, there is more same-gender sex. I mused out loud that my dad is a veterinarian, and I read in his medical books that among steer in crowded pens, usually they will mount a "designated" steer (also fellow-male cow).

I brushed it aside, there's more to it than that. But have been thinking about it. Another factor?
