Don't you mean the other way? I'm pretty sure all animals have sex because they enjoy it, not because they want to procreate - since they most certainly don't even know what procreation is. So sex for procreation is something that only humans are able to do.

I don't know why you're sure of that opinion: it is well beyond current scientific evidentiary support. And sex in some species (e.g. ducks) appears deeply unpleasurable for at least one of the participants.

But homosexual behavior is widespread across animal species, which does undermine the parent's case.

So somewhere there's a gay duck having a bad night.
