The Truth About Gay Animals (2002x2)

Air date: Apr 22, 2002

American comedian SCOTT CAPURRO embarks on a bizarre odyssey to track down the truth about gay animals. Why would animals be gay? How do you define gay sexual behaviour? And how do you spot it in animals? This wry documentary asks if there has been a conspiracy to keep the truth about gay animals secret. From swans engaging in threesomes to chimpanzees that swing both ways, Scott travels across the globe meeting en-route the college professor funded by the US government to research the genetic make-up of gay sheep, and a recently divorced woman whose husband was so convinced his dog was gay he allegedly beat him to death with a vacuum cleaner.
