Bagemihl's ideas have caused a stir in the higher, human community, especially among scientists who find it simplistic to equate any animal behavior with human behavior. But Bagemihl stands behind the findings, arguing that if homosexuality comes naturally to other creatures, perhaps it's time to quit getting into such a lather over the fact that it comes naturally to humans too. "Animal sexuality is more complex than we imagined," says Bagemihl. "That diversity is part of human heritage...
Stronger policy proposals, Gore argues, have to go with public awareness and political support. "You cannot have one without the other," he says. A presidential campaign might be a good place to stir up a tempest about climate change, but so far, it appears unlikely that Gore will do so.

The facial prostheses are funny and poignant. Unlike this life-long film...
...queer-oriented erotica reading event covered in The Crimson (News, April 15) was not intended to stir up scandal. Sex is a touchy issue for some people, sure, but the event was publicized as a panel with erotica writers, and I expect that most of the people in attendance knew what erotica entails and were not in the least scandalized by the stories that were read...
