Indian Supreme Court ruled that homosexuality is illegal and unconstitutional. When covering this news some Telugu papers are translating homosexuality as "svalinga samparkamu." 
I recall in 7th or 8th class, when studying pollination, we used the phrases "paraparaaga samparkamu" (female flower of one plant pollinated by male flower of a different plant), "svaparaaga samparkamu" (female flower of one plant pollinated by a male flower of the same plant), and words "aatma-paraaga samparkamu" (female part of one flower pollinated by the male part of the same flower). Based on this formulation, "svalinga samaparkamu" appears somewhat incorrect. Unfortunately in nature (among flora and fauna) no male likes another male that way, and no female finds another female interesting. It's always between a male and a female whether from different trees, same tree, or even the same flower. Therefore, changing "svalinga samparkamu" to "samalinga samparkamu" seems appropriate. What say you?

LOL. Merlot will probably invent the proper idol for it.

I don't think it is a svalinga or samalinga SAMPARKAMU. The other active parts are ignored. It is not a "karraata" or a "kolaatam".

Is there any homosexuality in the animal kingdom (other than humans)?
