ABSTRACT

As an abecedary, every letter from A to Z, like each and every animal and species, makes a case for the importance of the seemingly insignificant. Homosexual behaviour appeared to be a paradox of evolution since, in principle, homosexual animals did not transmit their genetic heritage. This stems in fact from a very narrow conception of sexuality, on the one hand, and of homosexuality, on the other. What is meant by being male or female, for example, can be found among many animals according to inventive modes that are similar to a multiplicity of ways of inhabiting a gender. For the former, animals only mate due to the goal of reproduction. Animals don’t do a thing except if it is useful for their survival and reproduction. For the latter, homosexual animals would be exclusively oriented towards partners of the same sex and, in this respect, would be proof of a strict orthodoxy.
