Isn’t deliberately avoiding looking at bananas the gayer behavior?

My theory for a while now that all mammals (except sheep) have a bisexual baseline with a common neurotypical heterosexual bias.
The heterosexual bias makes evolutionary sense because offspring.
The bisexual base line makes evolutionary sense because some gay people taking care of eachothers emotional-social needs is more sustainable then having sexually frustrated subgroup members.

Technically its human and sheep.
But the reason is that for all cases of homosexuality in animals they are always actually bisexual.
With the exception of homosexuals sheep who will refuse to mate with the other gender. They are homo exclusive for life and you cannot find an exception (as far as i know)
For humans this can be anecdotally the same but because bisexuality does exist in humans and even supposedly homoexclusive people can have heterosexual experience from before they come out the closest that i think there not comparable.
Just like hetero army guys who may pretend one of them is a women for a night, gay people can exist in loving functional hetero relationships. So even for homosexual people i would say its their main preference on top of bisexual baseline.
