  1. And our U.S. Republican Congress is alright with this? We need to pass some more laws.

  2. I knew about Gray whales, but not Gay whales

    Anyway jokes aside, this isn’t particularly odd or cause for concern. Bisexuality in an increasingly wide range of animals has been documented for over a hundred years now. Unlike intersex anatomy in fish and amphibians, it is unrelated to environmental pollutants.

  3. Dear various Murdoch employed ‘news’ anchors (you know who you are), various conservative think tanks including all of the Atlas group (special mention to the Heartland Foundation and lobby group Advance Australia), religious reactionaries from all across the Abrahamic sects,

    Kindly look upon two of God’s most majestic creatures frolicking in His most wondrous creation, Earth, floating in a teeny tiny bit of limitless reaches of the increasingly astonishing cosmos as revealed in increasingly numinous glory by JWST.

    Perhaps reflect on three things. The problematic, hate-justifying bit of Leviticus is one line, two at a stretch, which everyone outside a handful of scholars will be reading in translation of a translation of a translation etc. Scribes and authors always use the language of their time, which actually changes quite rapidly. Finally, whales can’t read.

  4. Anyone else hate when news sites don’t link to the actual external article written by researchers, or at least to the organisation?

  5. Brokeback ocean, the sequel you didn’t know you needed until now.

  6. This is going to bring back nuke the gay whales t-shirts.
