And FAR more people would have a problem with gay animal couples than with an interspecies couple. Bestiality is far less accepted in society than homosexuality, basically the world over, and for good reason. I don't why you think it would be much different if the relationship was between two different animal species. And homosexual relationships are already known to exist in the wild in reality.

One of the main arguments that was used to smear LGBT persons and relationships is in many ways true when it comes to cross-species romance. It is not possible biologically and it does go against nature. Interspecies relationships are exceedingly rare, except in cases with very closely related species like horses and donkeys.
