My dear lgbt+ kids. 

For any of you struggling with doubts like “Is being lgbt+ unnatural? Is lgbt+ something humans made up but nature didn’t intend?” (or those of you who hear these things from other people), let me introduce you to a couple. 

They’re called Andrew and Patrick. They are gay. They’re as good as married, spending each day together, protecting each other, helping each other through hard times (Andrew even saved Patricks life). They love running together and relaxing in the sun together. 

They are, hundert percent, a normal and wonderful part of nature. How do i know so? 

Well, because they are not humans. They’re horses. 

Like dogs, swans, penguins, dolphins, elephants, lions, sheep or even bed bugs, horses can be gay. A 2006 study shows that 1500 animal species have been documented engaging in same-sex behavior and unlike some people believe, it’s not only about sexual activity. Just like Andrew and Patrick, many gay animal couples bond for life or even raise offspring together – just like many human gay couples, too. 

There are transgender and intersex bears found in nature. 

It isn’t all about a lack of partners to choose from, either: A zoo in Germany attempted to break up a male gay penguin couple by providing them with more female companions – and was unsuccessful because they were (duh) not interested in any females (in other words, gay penguins are having none of that heteronormative crap). 

Next time someone tries to make you feel bad about being “unnatural”, think about Andrew and Patrick, about the transgender bears or the gay penguins: They’re not lgbt+ because they “want to be special” or because they’ve seen “too many gays on tv”. They don’t even know what lgbt+ means. 

They are just being their natural, normal selves.
