Homosexuality, if defined simply as sexual attraction to or sexual contact with members of the same sex, is not unique to human beings. Homosexual behavior, including apparent intercourse between males, has been observed in many animal species.

This is considered to be different from the "dominance" social posturing that male animals often engage in (fake mounting).

Its biological origin is not known. There is probably a genetic component along with psychological or psychosocial components, and these may vary from individual to individual.
