Famous nature documentarian accused of snubbing gay animals

That guy who made those nature documentaries your mom loves — that's Sir David Attenborough to us — stands accused of "snubbing" gay animals. Dr. Brett Mills, a media studies expert, says that while homosexuality is common to "pretty much every species," Attenborough's films have focused on family values. Mills says they recast potentially gay interactions between male chimps as, um, "friendly affection," or suggested that male sandpipers circling each other were being "aggressive," not flirting. "Heterosexuality is one of many possible options" between animals, says Mills — and only one. [Source]
