No, literally, you've cherry picked the part, the post is much more nuanced:
"Because some animals fuck anything that moves and doesn't, including dead animals[1] and other species[2]. Not sure if applying human categories such as "homosexual" to non-human animals is helpful, though."
> If we can find any imaginable sexual behaviour (for example, homosexuality) in the animal kingdom, how is any imaginable sexual behaviour (for example, homosexuality) a "human construct"?
The behavior is of course not a human construct. Using animal behavior to prove any human practice is, because any practice can be supported that way. Just like the post you didn't quote fully also tries to suggest and exactly what I attempted to summarize, even if it can be better worded, for what I'm ready to apologize.
