These starfish are behaviorally bisexual. As a side note, I feel like starfish should be the mascots for queerness. They engage in homosexual and heterosexual behavior, they can reproduce asexually, and while most starfish are either male or female some species can switch their sex. Perhaps instead of bisexual behavior being a fluke, it is the baseline. Instead of searching for evolutionary reasons to justify the existence of homosexual behavior, we should be looking to justify the existence of exclusively heterosexual behavior.
