I think conservatives freak out any time they learn basically anything.
Bold of you to assume they learn. They just knee-jerk get angry at whatever fox "news" tells them they should be angry about.
Some of them are capable of learning - they're called 'ex conservatives '.
Or alternatively, pretend it didn’t happen
Conservatives are freaking out because they learned that some animals are gay
Are we seriously doomed to have this stupid ass homophobia shoved down our throats by conservative bigots every 5-10 years because they keep getting mad about the same thing all over again? I've been listening to this shit for over 20 years now.
Just know that these asshats take extreme pride in their hate. They will subject people to it until the day they die. Christianity is an eternal well of hate and ignorance. And they want to make sure no one is ever happy, the miserable fucks!
I think we’re doomed to have it shoved down our throats way more frequently than that with their recent freak outs.
"They're turning the freaking frogs gay!"
I’m deeply sad that Alex jones got his hands on that one. There’s a potentially huge effect that birth control has on fish reproduction, but I suspect people dismiss it because Jones said libs were turning frogs gay
Imagine having a world view based on such fragile bullshit that two animals fucking can shatter it...
Yeah conservatives are brain damaged.
Being a conservative requires refusing to learn anything
In high school, the conservative kids refused to accept homosexuality occurred in Greek culture. Then when they finally did accept it, said it was why God destroyed their civilization?
You conserve your brain by not learning about stuff and things.
5D Go Fish right there.
Learned? No, that is the wrong word.
They are in violent and vehement denial about facts that are empirically documented and readily observable with ones own eyes.
They didn't actually learn anything. It will be written off as some "degenerate liberuhl conspiracy", as they do with every other fact that doesn't align with their perverse totalitarian worldview.
I mean, that's the entire conservative/right-wing M.O.
"If animals can be gay, I could be gay, but I am not gay! 😱" - Republican caught sucking dick in an alley
"I'm not gay for sucking dick; this dick is gay for getting sucked."
This is logic.
“It’s unclear if there is an official Hierarchy of Victimhood for animals,” Outkick bleats. “There is for humans. Transgender persons sit atop. Straight white Christian men sit at the bottom, almost buried beneath the pyramid.”
Pfffft. What a hypocrite. Whining about trans people's immense victimhood, while using the exact same metaphor to imply that, in fact, HE is the most victimized of all by not even being allowed to be the victim. By being "buried beneath the pyramid" of victimhood. Bahahahaha. The cognitive dissonance is incredible.
And buddy... That "Christian" part is apparently doing a lot of heavy lifting on your victim complex, my guy. Plenty of us straight white men get by without being under constant attack. If everyone around you seems like an asshole, maybe you're the asshole. And maybe if you acted a little more Christ-like, you'd give people less reason to attack you and you'd make more friends with different kinds of people.
The problem in his view, as best I can tell, is that there is a natural hierarchy, that he belongs on top of telling everyone else what to do, and any upset of this natural hierarchy is oppressing him. He may not have thought this out in so many words, but it's a hypothesis that seems to make accurate predictions about what people in his reference class will do and say.
YOu don't find gay animals in nature!!! Gayness is unnatural and therefore unethical!!!!!
Peacock: "Actually you do, here are some gay animals"
Well... some animals also eat their own young!!!!!! Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's ethical!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking hilarious.
Let's now wait until they learn about shrimps and hermaphroditism in animals.
Northern shrimp, also commonly known as northern prawn, are a sequential hermaphrodite. This is a term used for animals that start their life as one sex and change to the other later in life. In the case of northern shrimp, they are born as males and become females at around four or five years of age.
In a group of anemonefish, a strict dominance hierarchy exists. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top. Anemonefish are protandrous sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female anemonefish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female.
I saw a post the other day half-joking that they were making the next Jurassic Park movie woke by having trans dinosaurs.
Pretty sure somebody wasn't paying attention during the original...
Oh, this sh*tfest is hilarious.
We’ve known about gay penguins since 1912, and regressives are just now cottoning on?
Doesn’t this happen every few years?
I remember Manny Pacquiao saying homosexuals are worst than animals because homosexuality does not exist in the animal kingdom. He was promptly educated.
Its against nature
No, not that nature
LOL, they are really just now learning this?
These are probably some of the same geniuses that believe that repeating that evolution is "just" a theory is making some kind of point.
Man I had a cat who would only try to bang my female dog, hated my other cat and dog, just specifically had eyes for that one dog.
Haven't seen the documentary but would be great to have an annotated list of accounts of gay animals from throughout history to point people towards so they can't say its chemicals in the water or microplastics turning animals gay in the current era.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals
Various forms of this are found in every major geographic region and every major animal group.
Like, all of them. But for specific examples:

They already knew about the frogs years ago.
The trailer for the series is full of comments criticizing Peacock (the publisher) for releasing this documentary and saying they'll delete their Peacock accounts.
I've never heard of them before and I might open an account specifically to watch this! It looks genuinely good from the trailer
I guess they weren't fans of Parks and Rec, they covered penguins years age. ☺
They're just learning it now? Lol, talk about being late to the party. That research has been around for decades.
Conservatives are freaking out about I don’t care, they’ve proven they are idiots and will believe anything
