: Well if these animals are having gay relationships which last their whole lives then it is obcviously not lust, nor it is their choice to be sexually attracted to eachother. If they were not sexually attracted to eachtoher (strait), then they would not have life long relationships so clearly it is not their choice... and since its not their choice, then they were designed that way.
Well, perhaps I'm not clearly grasping your point. It seems you are making the mistake of arguing from an "is" to an "ought". Even if penguins have lifelong, loving, homosexual relationships by nature *today* - I don't see how that means they did in God's *original* design (before the Fall).
And even if we did have special revelation that homosexuality practice among animals was "good", it seems we would have to make a leap to conclude that moral standards for animals apply to humans as well.
