Proponents of the hereditary basis of homosexuality seem to argue that

However it is also known(particuliarly in rats) that male animals will
mount other male animals that carry female
pheronomic variables.This would seem to indicate that a male rat will
mount another male rat that smells like a female because of exposure,and
not that the animal is gay.
Send me something.

I won't speculate on exactly why one male rat would attempt to
copulate with another male rat but I confess to being in
Michael's camp on this issue. I am skeptical that such instances
represent the same thing as a human male being specifically
attracted to other human males for emotional and sexual reasons.
Perhaps I have been exposed to too many instances of dogs
attempting to mount a human leg.
