The Rabbit Moves On...

Erik called my attention to this clip. When I saw it I recognized Tom Fort. We were quite intensively chatting with each other last year. Actually I like the song and the clip. Too bad we can't buy the CD in The Netherlands yet.

Bearforce ONE

Friday night we had our first encounter with Bearforce 1, the one and only bear band as they call them selfs. Have fun with their video.

Beardy Bunch of Brady Bears

That would have made the Brady Bunch even more interesting!

Yesterday Erik and I attended the Christmas drag cabaret show “KerstKlokkenSpel” of Coco Coquette and her friends at the Winston Kingdom in Amsterdam. It was a great show and we had a big laugh! Coco had some very touching songs about the little grieves in life. I was hoping we could get a glimpse of her partner in crime: Jet Lag. ... And my prayers were answered when she finally came on the stage and sang her unforgettable “Feed the World”.

Erik even won a prize during the show – a book for his work to assist Mrs. Coquette.

If you have any chance to see the show (only in Dutch) during the next two weeks, do it! It's only € 10,- but it's worth five times more.

gay animals

Who's saying that homosexuality is against nature?



An article in magazine Nature (October 26, 2006, pg. 895) called "Snapshot: But is it natural?" by Alison Abbott and the recent exhibition "Against nature" in the Naturhistorisk Museum in Oslo proofs the opposite.

"We hope to reject the all too well known argument that homosexual behaviour is a crime against nature"

<Oslo Natural History Museum>




Sex in general between animals (as between humans) is often a matter of enjoyment, rather than reproduction, and that this applies to animals of the same sex as well as opposite sexes. Homosexuality has been observed among 1500 species.


"Our closest relatives

Humans belong to the primates together with two species of chimpanzees, gorilla, orang-utan, siamang and gibbons. Homosexuality is known from all groups, but there are great variations between species regarding gender, age and frequency, and even from group to group within the species. Compared to the other apes, human homosexuality is neither extremely frequent, nor particularly rare, and in our species too, the practice varies from one culture to the next

Against nature?
The Church Council of Nablus in 1120 AD wrote the first law where homosexuality was labelled a “Crime against Nature”. In the Renaissance, such texts found their way into the laws of many countries, leading to widespread oppression against homosexuality on the basis that it is “unnatural”.

We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear: Homosexuality is found throughout the Animal Kingdom. It is not against nature."
