It seems like the animal kingdom is waving its delight flags, far as well … spreading the details that adore is genuinely like — all precise in a new doc about animal sexuality, which is evidently fluid.
From gay penguins and giraffes to lion “bromances” and lesbian primates, Peacock’s “Queer Earth” delves into the wild planet of animals’ homosexual interactions … revealing more than 1,500 species partaking in queer behavior.
The 90-minute doc — narrated by actor Andrew Rannells — dishes on lions mounting each other, the promiscuity of pansexual bonobo monkeys, and even sexual intercourse-altering clownfish.
In truth, in accordance to the doc, when there is a stigma in the human race all about the LGBTQ+ neighborhood — it is all excellent game in the animal kingdom … they are just dwelling their finest life!
All this ain’t precisely new … queer interactions have been observed in animals for fairly some time. What does seem to be to be new, obtaining mentioned that, is that this doc chronicles all of it on tape.
You can count on to recall … it was uncovered prior to this yr that two male humpback whales have been caught acquiring it on with each and every and each other for the initially time in historical previous. Amazon river dolphins, walruses, grey seals, and pretty a couple of far additional species have also been noticed engaging in it, far as well.
Sounds like a outstanding time … but depart it to human beings to rain on the parade. The doc’s currently catching flak, with conservative commentator Tomi Lahren building on X, “If animals have been in truth gay, there would be no far additional animals. Just basic science there.”
In spite of the criticism, “Queer Earth” is boldly proclaiming … character has normally been queer.
