Are we pretending that humans and animals do the same things? You can be fine with homosexuality, but what animals do have nothing to do with what humans do.

Humans are literally a categorical subset within the taxonomical kingdom of "animals".

"People" who argue that humans aren't animals are clearly vegetables :p /s

So then if animals do it then its the same as humans doing it?

Yes. Everything else is only because we perceive it differently, notably culturally. And that depends on the individual, time and culture that percieves it. And our perceptions aren't always good but are built from other things including misconceptions.
