Yes, you were.

No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.

That is not his premise. His premise is:

all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.

You have misrepresented his premise. When in reality, you're advocated that his logic is faulty as it required another supporting logical statement. Huge difference.

No I did not misrepresent. I said, that in order to get to his conclusion, he was missing a premise, and that premise was something of the likes of "all species are alike". I don't know exactly what it is since I am not the one constructing the logic, but all I can say is that something is missing.

Maybe my wording was off, but I did use the preposition "an" in "an uncertified [...] premise", with the liberty to interpret it as being one of many.

Wow, if you can't understand simple facts like this, you've a long way to go in terms of logic. I'm tired of beating this dead horse. 

Ad hominem, attacking the strawman, appeal to authority etc.

What's happening here by the way :D ? Isn't he simply arguing against the sweeping generalization that is "all animals are alike"?
