today's gay animal of the day is...
chinstrap penguins!
homosexuality is actually fairly common across multiple species of penguin! it was first documented as far back as 1911, and has since been corroborated by many studies. A pair of male chinstrap penguins named Roy and Silo became famous for successfully incubating another pair’s egg, resulting in a chick named Tango, which was popularized in a children’s book called "And Tango Makes Three."

Judge Rules ‘And Tango Makes Three’ Case Can Proceed; Ruby Bridges Speaks Out
A federal judge has ruled that two authors and a student can pursue First Amendment claims against the Escambia County (FL) School Board over the removal of And Tango Makes Three from library shelves.
=-=-=-=
For anyone who's unfamiliar with And Tango Makes Three: It's a sweet picture book about the true story of how Central Park Zoo's gay chinstrap penguins Silo and Roy were given a baby penguin to raise.
There's absolutely nothing in the story that's inappropriate for children; I've read it to my own students before.

Oh, this is current! I just looked it up (today is March 28, 2023.) The bird sanctuary just tweeted about it four days ago:
And then again two days ago:
The general consensus is that this is adorable, though temporary. Murphy is fine with his rock.
It of course reminds me of the excellent true story about the gay penguins that turned into an award-winning kid’s book:
I have this book. It is so great. If you want to read about bird dads who are in fact sad that their rock won’t hatch (but then it does), then this book is for you.

Saturday Surprise -- Sphen & Magic! -- A Purposeful Reprise
Saturday Surprise — Sphen & Magic! — A Purposeful Reprise
I first wrote this story back in October 2018, and have since written an update (link at bottom). I felt a need to reprise it today in light of the fact that a similar story about another penguin couple, Roy & Silo, written into a children’s book in 2015, has been banned in Florida. As you will see, it is a wonderful story, a heartwarming story, but apparently some feel threatened by inclusion,…

Will finally order „and tango makes three“
If that is what conservatives are afraid of, I will order it just out of spite. See, I am reading a banned book and I am supporting an artist while doing so

My mom, making fun of homophobic conservatives: “hOw am I suPoSEd to TelL mY kiDs Why tHosE MeN aRE kISSiNg?” like, what twelve year old doesn’t know about gay people!?
Me, snickering and slowly raising my hand:
Mom, eyes widening: no. No surely you-
Me: I found out in middle school when my friends started dating. I didn’t know it was an option before then. They’re the first queer people I ever met.
Mom, head in her hands: but….I’m queer….
Me, fully cackling: and yet you didn’t know how to explain why those two men were kissing, either!
#in her defense I’m so aroace I probably wouldn’t know about straight people either if it wasn’t so shoved down my throat#Smh didn’t even get a and tango makes three book or anything failure parenting moment#gay memes#lgbt memes#lgbt+#lgbtqia#queer memes#something to nom on

Giving an egg to same sex penguin couples in zoos who have displayed nesting behavior has apparently become a definite thing; while most species of penguins lay two eggs at a time, it's not uncommon for one egg to roll -- or be deliberately shoved -- out of the nest and be crushed. If a female repeatedly fails to hatch both her eggs, and there's a same sex childless couple on hand who have been seeing "incubating" rocks or dummy eggs, then it gives both those eggs a better chance of survival by fostering one out. A children's book was written about a pair of male penguins at the Central Park Zoo who successfully raised a chick one breeding season. (It was also turned into a play and became one of the most challenged books for years by parents wanting it banned from the library.)
youtube
Went to a zoo where there's a gay penguin couple but the problem is they're the only penguin couple at this point that the zoo has who are healthy enough to safely raise an egg so they keep being given eggs to raise and I'm just losing it over the mental image imagine being this old gay couple who just wants to live in peace but you keep having babies handed to you because all of your friends have too many issues to look after them
#penguins#and tango makes three#roy and silo broke up after a few years though#and silo went on to have a m/f relationship#so i guess he was bi#like this is such an innocent feel good story#i can't even imagine anyone having an objection to it#Youtube

Trying to analyze the tropes in my own fics to see if I think they're successful as component pieces and getting so confused I give myself psychic damage send help
#spazzcat barks#i was trying to figure out how -- if at all -- the 5 man band structure appears in RnS#Helsknight has been labeled: Leader Lancer and Strong Man#i think i am more firmly planting him on Lancer/Strong Man#but the story itself makes a compelling case for Helsknight is the leader but the story is narrated by his Lancer [Tanguish]#Tanguish not surprisingly Ive put in: Hero/Leader Lancer and Heart#EB i think could be Strong Man or Heart with emphasis on Heart#Martyn could be the Smart Guy for Tanguish or the Lancer for Helsknight#in which case if Martyn is Helsknights Lancer than Tanguish could compellingly be Helsknight's Smart Guy instead#conversely Tango doesnt fit into the 5 man band structure. he is instead an inciting insident / catalyst#who could become a support character role a la Heart later but only once he gets more screen time#as of right now hes very one dimensional#meanwhile Welsknight is one of three plot antagonists#the Main Antagonist is the Universe/Death#it represents a force of nature antag#the major secondary Antag and the Tanguish specific antag is the Demon#he represents what needs to change about the world and the concepts that Tanguish is ideallgocally opposed to#Welsknight however is theeeeeee#oh words#i belive its called the Saboteur? Antag archetype?#he is the thing that breaks things down from the inside#also to be further established#anyway ive been thinking about this for hours >:/#if i can not put my little guys into their assigned boxes i think that means i didnt quite make the mark on those boxes#which isnt inherently bad -- the main cast of RnS is a duo Hero/Right Hand Man archetype first#and a 5 man band second#but still! frustrating
