Sorry to break the news folks but if you remember the 2018 gay penguin love story from Sydney, Magic & Sphen who started spending all their time together and started collecting pebbles and building a nest, it’s now ended very sadly. Sphen has just recently died leaving his parter Magic and their two chicks they raised behind 😭
But you guys don’t understand. The sweetest, cutest, saddest part is that when they brought Magic to see Sphen (so he’d understand what happened) Magic startED TO SING
Bro I think I need a hug I can’t handle this rn

In the wild when one penguin dies and their partner doesn’t know what has happened, they will typically go searching for them. Howell said this is why keepers at the aquarium felt it so necessary to show Magic that Sphen had passed, so he could understand “his partner wouldn’t actually be returning”. The keeper said it was an incredibly emotional moment when Magic was taken to Sphen, alongside the gentoo colony and all of the staff members. Magic immediately started singing, with all the penguins around him joining in the chorus. “It was a very beautiful moment, the air was just filled with their singing,” Howell said. “It showed the impact [Sphen] had on his partner and that [Magic] actually recognised that his partner was there. “Soon after, he became quite protective of his partner and that was a very emotional time for us, but we needed to do that in order for him to hopefully comprehend what had happened.” Howell said staff at the aquarium had never seen anything like this occur before, so they aren’t entirely sure what the singing means. “But in that moment for us, it was a beautiful send-off.”

dear god this broke me a little, imagining this little penguin being taken to see his partner's body, and having to comprehend he's not coming back.

Vale Sphen | 2012 - 2024
The gay penguin Sphen has sadly passed away in Australia.
He was a real star, enchanting internet users and zoo visitors alike. Sphen was a gay penguin who raised two chicks together with his partner Magic. And now, at the grand age of eleven, the animal has passed away.
The gay gentoo penguin Sphen, who became known worldwide for his social life, has sadly passed away. In a heartwarming announcement, the Sea Life Aquarium in the vibrant Australian city of Sydney revealed that Sphen lived to be almost twelve years old—a remarkable lifespan for a gentoo penguin. Sphen and his partner Magic were the picture of a faithful couple, together for six years and proud adoptive parents to two adorable chicks. Sphengic and Clency.
Even outside the breeding season, Sphen and Magic were always together! This is unique for gentoo penguins. The influence of the penguin couple as a symbol of equality was immeasurable. Sphen and Magic made an appearance in the Netflix series 'Atypical' and were featured in books, documentaries and the New South Wales state curriculum, the aquarium recalled.

There is no wrong sexual orientation. Everyone has a right to decide what their sexual orientation is.

In the spirit of 'equality among equals', if it is consensual, it cannot be judged by others.
Freedom is always based on a commitment to the rights of others.
