the point of this review was for a piece I'm working on with a few queer EEB twitter friends arguing that actually it's more parsimonious to assume that the costs to same-sex-directed sexual behavior are few and far between and "bisexuality" is a more likely null state for animal sexuality than strict heterosexuality please and thank you. So far we're getting a more than slightly enraging mixture of "not worth publishing, this is obvious" and "but that can't possibly be true!"
Nrghglh. This sort of thing is why I took one look at the field of human sexuality, did a sharp about-face, and marched quickly in the direction of animal evolution.
