[Weekend Watch List] Pinguinilor nu le-a spus nimeni că nu au voie să fie gay

E contra naturii se scrie pe pereți, zilele acestea, în așteptarea referendumului. Și până când familia tradițională va defini și natura în Constituție, oamenii de știință au arătat că homosexualitate se regăsește la foarte multe specii de animale. Homofobia, însă, nu. Am putea să spunem că homofobia este contra naturii, dar nu spunem, lăsăm la latitudinea fiecăruia să o definească.

Arătăm însă niște video drăgălașe cu pinguini, girafe, lei, rinoceri, gorile, lebede, tauri care sunt gay. Cum au putut să supraviețuiască aceste specii atâta timp în lipsa unor legi clare care să le explice cine cu cine are voie să își facă cuib sau să hoinărească prin savană? Ce au simțit puii lor când au văzut astfel de comportamente ciudate prin pădure? 

În fine, după ce am pregătit terenul cu drăgălășenii, trecem la oameni. Și la intoleranță. Și la drepturile oamenilor. Și la normalitate.

How Same-Sex Partnerships Work in the Animal Kingdom

Sexuality in the animal kingdom is fluid, meaning animals are not simply homo or hetero. In some cases, animals chose a same-sex partner over partner of the opposite sex. So how do same-sex partnerships maintain the cycle of procreation in the wild?

Explainer: Can Animals Be Homophobic?

Homosexual behavior has been documented in hundreds of animal species, but the same does not hold for gay-bashing. For starters, few animals are exclusively gay. Two female Japanese macaques might have playful sex with each other on Tuesday, and then mate with males on Wednesday. Pairs of male elephants sometimes form years-long companionships that include sexual activity, while their heterosexual couplings tend to be one-night stands. For many species, gay sex doesn't make them gay, so the concept of homophobia doesn't apply.

As a gay couple in San Francisco, Jenni Chang and Lisa Dazols had a relatively easy time living the way they wanted.

They set off on a world tour in search of "Supergays," LGBT people who were doing something extraordinary in the world.
