Following the Howard Stern mantra of “Lesbians equal ratings” Independent Sources brings you sordid tales from Down Under.

A local Australian icon, the Koala Bear, has recently been revealed as a closet lesbian:

Female koalas indulge in lesbian “sex sessions”, rejecting male suitors and attempting to mate with each other, sometimes up to five at a time, according to researchers.

The furry, eucalyptus-eating creatures appear to develop this tendency for same-sex liaisons when they are in captivity. In the wild, they remain heterosexual.

Scientists monitoring the marsupials with digital cameras counted three homosexual interactions for every heterosexual one.

“Some females rejected the advances of males that were in their enclosures, only to become willing participants in homosexual encounters immediately after,” say the researchers.

“On several occasions more than one pair of females shared the same pole, and multiple females mounted each other simultaneously. At least one multiple encounter involved five female koalas.

Personally I don’t think this is confined to Koala Bears as most of the women I know have indicated they would much rather turn lesbian (or commit suicide) than have sex with me. Seems to be a cross-species issue.
