Male Lions Reinforcing Social Bonds | Gay Pride? | African Safari Sighting

Two Majingilane male lions reinforcing the social bonds that keep a coalition strong. Males mounting one another is often dismissed as a show of dominance - here we see the two lions swapping places to show that dominance is nothing to do with the situation.
Many people would like to use this as an example of homosexuality in nature. These lions are not "Gay" in the LGBTQ+ sense of the word, this is homosexual behaviour in the sense that it is two animals of a single sex interacting - but it is in no way a sexual act. there is no penetration, or even stimulation of the reproductive organs of either male. Lions do not find intercourse pleasurable, it is a painful act only necessary for reproduction. Even if it were a sexual act that would make these males "Bi" in the LGBTQ+ sense as they are (now were as they are long since deceased) successful pride males with many lionesses and cubs. Gay Pride in the title is just wordplay using the fact that the name for a lion group is a pride.
There are indeed examples of true homosexuality in nature with a number of species having lifelong same sex partnership both celibate, and involving full sexual gratification, depending on the species.

A similar interaction between two lions in Kenya made international headlines, one Kenyan politician said the lions should be isolated and that they probably learned it from the bad behaviour of the tourists they have seen on safari!!!!

About Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos:
The purpose of the channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
