We don't have gay animals. We have animals that sometimes have same-sex "sex." If there were anything real called "sexuality," then I have three lesbian ducks. Every morning they get in the pond and fuck. It turns out that when a male isn't around (maybe even if there is, we haven't had one), it's literally how they determine their pecking order. My female dogs will also do the same - hump each other for dominance.
There is no evidence of anything considered a "sexual orientation" in animals despite the appearance of "gay" sex, there are no "gay" animals.
*Edited to add, that human sexuality is known to be fluid and changes. That's a fact.

Nope, there are animals who have been observed to be exclusively homosexual, not just occasionally having sex with the same sex. And we can even now create such animals in the lab by altering hormones in the womb. So we also know why it happens.

They've also gotten that behavior through damaging brain tissue, which doesn't prove there is an innate sexuality.

I'm actually inclined to agree with all of that, but its a semantic point. There are still animals that do same-sex sex, and animals that dont, if you changed the wording of my comment it wouldn't change the substance of my argument.
It can change, but not everyones will, just how fluid this situation is for everyone is pretty debatable, and you just said there isn't such thing as sexuality, I don't see a particularly compelling reason your arguments wouldn't apply to human animals if you are going to apply this categorically
I think we agree then. I don't believe human animals have sexuality, homosexual, heterosexual - at all.
