Who knows what they were up to when nobody was watching... 😅

I keep babbling about turtles being shell-friends. But apparently some turtles are more than just friends!

When I was a teen I asked my religious homophobic grandma if animals dont have rational thought but can still be gay, how did they "choose" to be gay? Her response? Gay penguins dont have souls so it doesnt count.

It's cute and all but... I really hate that arguement. If it wasn't natural, it wouldn't make it any less moral. We don't need to play by their rhetorical rules. I know that this is just a cute thing, but I see this kind of things all the time and I feel quite strongly about it. So what if I wasn't born this way? So what if it's not natural? Does it somehow make things worse? Or is just an excuse to justify hatred of something that just grosses the 'phobes out?... y'know?

To be fair, when arguing with anyone about things not being natural, point out the car they drive, the processed food they cook, the job they work: all very unnatural things that people "choose" to do.

I've been saying this for years. It doesn't matter if you choose to be gay or not. It doesn't matter how many biological sexes there are. People should do what ever the fuck they want with their own bodies and personalities.

You know what else isn't natural? Clothes, houses, cars, glasses, phones...

It's just a dumb argument to begin with, and it's not even correct. Par for the course for conservatives.

Where exactly is the line between "natural" and "unnatural" and why should Humans abide by what is Natural anyway?

I was in a band by that name. We only played instrumental national anthems.

In hindsight, both factors might have limited our marketability a bit..
