That guy who made those nature documentaries your mom loves — that’s Sir David Attenborough to us — stands accused of « snubbing » gay animals. Dr. Brett Mills, a media studies expert, says that while homosexuality is common to « pretty much every species, » Attenborough’s films have focused on family values. Mills says they recast potentially gay interactions between male chimps as, um, « friendly affection, » or suggested that male sandpipers circling each other were being « aggressive, » not flirting. « Heterosexuality is one of many possible options » between animals, says Mills — and only one.
