Is My Guppy Gay?

[Boony]

Has anyone else notcied this behaviour in any of thier livebearers?

I just looked in my tank at where the Guppies were congregating last night and notcied one getting very very close to the others. All my Guppies are male, but he seened to be swinging his body into the mating position.
After looking more closely, I noticed that he was extending his gonopodium towards the other Guppies Anal opening (Cloaca??)

I was just wondering if anyone has noticed this kind of behaviour. I have heard of other animals with homosexual tendencies, but can't think of many fish.
Could it just be a sign of dominance, or maybe a bonding behaviour.

Thanks
