The zoo is installing the banner in the habitat of their Humboldt penguin colony, where several gay penguin couples reside
The ZSL London Zoo is celebrating Pride next week, and as part of the celebration the zoo is installing a banner that will read “Some Penguins Are Gay, Get Over it” on the beach of their penguin habitat.
Reggie and Ronnie became a couple back in 2014, eventually adopting a chick, Kyton, that had been abandoned by another couple, according to the zoo. London Zoo’s Pride-inspired events begin July 5, and will last three days, according to a BBC report. The activities aim to educate the public on the same-sex behaviors and relationships of animals.The banner being added to the penguin habitat is part of these celebrations. The addition is an homage to Stonewall’s ‘Get Over It’ campaign, which was created to “tackle homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying,” according to the campaign’s website.
