In this week’s installment of “right-wingers losing their minds over nothing,” conservatives are big mad about the trailer for the forthcoming documentary Queer Planet.

Thanks for explaining that, as anything called 'Queer Planet", I'm not going to look at, same if called 'Straight Planet'.  Hate labels.  I assumed (oops) it was about humans.

 

I don't anyone denies there are 3 sexes/genders ... hetero-homo-bisexual.  OK, maybe the religious extremist who don't get out much.

 

Have no real interest in watching a doc, about either or, no matter what species the subject matter is about.

Hardly anything to aspire to.

 

 

Or be 'proud' of, we need a sex tourist pride month!

Did this need it's own thread, as could have simply been mentioned in the 'movie/tv' thread ?

 

A thread for every new movie ... maybe mods could move to appropriate thread.

Good luck I have no kids.

Imagine you have kids, and they constantly get bombarded with this woke nonsense. 

There are XX and XY chromosomes. That's it. It's not really that difficult.

I thought it was worthy because the ignorant right wing backlash is major news.

If you don’t feel welcome to exit the topic.

How is a documentary about sexual diversity in nature woke nonsense?

When such information enters a mind with extremely regimented thought and a strong resistance to change, the results are unfortunately predictable.

[bob smith]

Well that looks absolutely horrific! 

I for one wont be watching.

 

Think i'll watch my chubby brown dvd instead!

Actually watched the trailer, and don't how that would offend anyone, or get their panties in a knot.  Also not sure how that would interest anyone either.   Scene of the pride parade enough to turn me off, as surely there will be some 'look at me' narrative.  yawn

 

Oh well ... vanilla/chocolate/strawberry or

straight/gay/bi ... moving on.

PEACE OUT

I find it interesting that some people blame the "right wing" for all their hostility. This hostility goes against the very idea of accepting the homosexual lifestyle. I would like to think we have the freedom to accept homosexuality but also not accept it. This is true freedom whether it be the "right wing" or the left wing.

Last time I checked... there is no constitutional right to outrage over something irrelevant to your life.

When you start writing laws that hurt the LGBTQ+ community - you are the hostile far right.

Who gives a F, I couldn't care less. Live and let live. Just as long as I'm not forced to accept it. If that makes me a homophobe, again I don't give a F.

I think this hostility you refer to is part of the effects of the "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The syndrome can be subtle, often masking itself as righteous indignation toward those who oppose homosexuality.

Not a lifestyle. 

Of course people are free to be ignorant bigots.

This the gay forum. Suggest you read the guidelines.

Thanks for the info. I'll watch out for it. The topic is nothing new. Biological Exuberance by Bagemihl was published 25 years ago. It was a core university text in animal behaviour courses, and it cited hundreds of studies going back decades. Back then, the main theory was that there were higher levels of homosexuality in species with high-need offspring, with homosexual adults 'nannying' or adopting the offspring of others to increase overall species survival. But then Black Swans also have a surrogacy system, and male-male pairs are by far the most successful at raising offspring, so that might have changed over time. I'm interested to see what the current theories are.
