Life and careerHe served on the faculty of University of British Columbia, where he taught linguistics and cognitive science,[3] and earned a Ph.D. in linguistics from there in 1988. Biological Exuberance cites numerous studies on more than 450 species (see List of animals displaying homosexual behavior) showing that homosexual and bisexual behaviors are common among animals and proposes a theory of sexual behavior in which reproduction is only one of its principal biological functions.[4] Bagemihl proposes that group cohesion and lessening of tensions, seen for example among bonobos, are other important functions of sexual behavior.[5] He also argues that the implications for humans of homosexual behaviour across the animal kingdom are "enormous."[4][5]His book on homosexuality in animals was cited by the American Psychiatric Association and other groups in their amici curiae brief to the United States Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas,[6] the case which ultimately struck down sodomy laws across the United States.[7] The book formed the basis for the museum exhibition Against Nature?.[7] He has also published several essays and scientific articles on issues related to language, biology, gender, and sexuality.[3] References1. ^{{cite news|last = McDonald|first = Maggie|date = January 4, 2006|accessdate = March 10, 2018|work = New Scientist|url = https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18925332.200-biological-exuberance-by-bruce-bagemihl.html|title = Biological Exuberance by Bruce Bagemihl}} 2. ^{{cite news|last = Fletcher|first = Martin|date = January 3, 2007|newspaper = The Times|deadurl = yes|url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article1288633.ece|title = Birds do it, bees do it ...|archive-date = February 17, 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070217061246/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article1288633.ece}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Publisher-supplied biographical information about contributor(s) for Biological exuberance : animal homosexuality and natural diversity / Bruce Bagemihl ; illustrated by John Megahan|url=http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol054/98028528.html|website=catdir.loc.gov|publisher=Library of Congress|accessdate=18 September 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last = Harrold|first = Max|date = February 16, 1999|title = Creature Comforts|newspaper = The Advocate|accessdate = March 10, 2018|pages = 61–62|issue = 779|publisher = Here Publishing|url = https://books.google.com.au/books?id=aGMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA61|quote = In his news book, Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity ... author Bruce Bagemihl portrays an animal kingdom that embraces a whole spectrum of sexual orientations ...
