Just because humans can deviate from a norm why would you assume animals could not? Animals can deviate in many other ways, as can humans, so it is not surprising for animals to deviate sexually.
The fact is sexual organs are made for one purpose, that is the biological fact I was alluding to. To say that is a societal created norm would be the same as believing that society could cause your pinky toe to take the role of your heart or lungs. This is a biologically created norm; just as using your eyes to see, mouth to eat, and feet to walk are "normal". People can be, due to accident, birth or even deliberate action, outside of all these norms, but that doesn't change the fact they are the norm.
The only role human society takes in all of this is the one thing unique to humans: morality.
