I think the reference is to wolves pecking order.  When the alpha male
(or any other male) is challenged for rank, the fight is rarely
deadly.  When one wolf loses, the winner will sometimes mount the
loser in a show of dominance (kind of like prison...).  Other than
that, I have not seen anything on wolves and that subject.

I don't think this qualifies as homosexual behavior, however.  It's
more about power.  Using animals to support homosexuality is
difficult, as homosexuality is about preferring males over females,
either for sexual pleasure or for companionship (with sexual
overtones).  Animals use sex for mating, and no more (although there
may be a claim for higher-order thinking among chimps).
