I can't remember the author, or the title (helpful, I know) but I've read a book on animal behaviour which discussed homosexuality in a range of different animal species...if you did some research in a uni/college library, I'm sure you'd find it.

OMG this is the funniest thread I have read in ages lol (how do i do smilies?)
I have an image of people running up to their big geldings and calling them poofs and the horse flouncing off in a huff.
My mare seems to swing both ways, she had a fling with a gelding 2 years ago, she was backing into him and squirting etc and the horny old bugger was mounting her. They were have a fine old time.
Then last spring with the first season, her and my friends mare seemed to be more than just good friends. They were squirting at each other and nuzzling and grooming and were a total pain in the bum (no offence intended to the owners of the gay geldings) when separated. Yelling and trying to get back to each other. Thankfully it seemed to be a passing phase, not that I had a problem with my girl having a gay lover, I loved her whatever, but it made life a bit difficult. We are just waiting to see what happens this year.

You might be thinking of Jonathan Balcombe and 'Pleasurable Kingdom'. It's a fabulous book for the evidence of pleasure and other emotions in animals. There is an entire chapter on sex, not to be read on trains, lol!
Horses can indeed be gay and JB also covers a lot of evidence for masturbation, too. Stallions particularly like to whack their..um...part against their bellies. I told OH about this and he didn't believe me, until one day he caught his Mum's miniature stallion at it and was traumatised for life, tee hee!

High upon a hillside
I am forever calling my horse gay. He neighs continually to his field buddy when we're at competitions 
I also call him a big gay when he spooks at something silly - ok, people can be offended for him, but trust me he doesn't care.
NB I am in no way homophobic, its just something I say, on more than one occasion I will have called my horse a big gay in front of gay friends
