to assume only humans are capable of homophobia is as silly as assuming only humans are capable of homosexuality.
a dw article has a bs headline, but even that garbage had it:
> Being homosexual is very common and no problem in the natural world at all. In fact, we see more heterophobia than homophobia in the animal kingdom," Jasper Buikx, biologist at Amsterdam's ARTIS Zoo, told DW in an interview.
“we see more” is not even close to “we see one and not the other.”
nothing wrong with the sentiment, humans are terrible. but they also aren’t special.
We haven't dicovered another species with clearly homophobic behaviour(attacking homosexual members of the species).
you lost it when you wrote it. The species is homo sapiens
Do you know a species except humans that have clear documented behaviour of attacking homosexual members of the species outside of the breeding normal breeding behaviour of the species.

But it seems so much more fun to believe otherwise. So why not?
