Sharing the same shell?
Who knows what they were up to when nobody was watching... 😅
Oh my god, they were roommates.
I keep babbling about turtles being shell-friends. But apparently some turtles are more than just friends!
No. They were best friends who lived together. (Don't worry, I know the vine you're talking about haha)
When I was a teen I asked my religious homophobic grandma if animals dont have rational thought but can still be gay, how did they "choose" to be gay? Her response? Gay penguins dont have souls so it doesnt count.
To which I'd have been tempted to reply: "Then how is it that they care for one another if they are without souls? Maybe being so callously judgemental of that which you don't understand makes you the soulless one who doesn't count."
Just shows you that people like that just want a neat and tidy (thought terminating) answer, rather than to know the actual truth.
It's cute and all but... I really hate that arguement. If it wasn't natural, it wouldn't make it any less moral. We don't need to play by their rhetorical rules. I know that this is just a cute thing, but I see this kind of things all the time and I feel quite strongly about it. So what if I wasn't born this way? So what if it's not natural? Does it somehow make things worse? Or is just an excuse to justify hatred of something that just grosses the 'phobes out?... y'know?
To be fair, when arguing with anyone about things not being natural, point out the car they drive, the processed food they cook, the job they work: all very unnatural things that people "choose" to do.
Yeah but cars don't go to hell when they die, and they really just care about gay peoples' souls! They swear!
I've been saying this for years. It doesn't matter if you choose to be gay or not. It doesn't matter how many biological sexes there are. People should do what ever the fuck they want with their own bodies and personalities.
You know what else isn't natural? Clothes, houses, cars, glasses, phones...
It's just a dumb argument to begin with, and it's not even correct. Par for the course for conservatives.
Glasses are not natural, pacemakers are not natural, cars are not natural.
Anyone who uses "not natural" as an argument while not living in a brush hut and cooking over a woodfire is just a hypocrite

Turtles are the horniest animals on the planet.
If you don't have enough girls per male, they will not be able to eat or drink because they are constantly molested by the fuckmachine males.
If you want to live with turtles, don't mix genders, or get a whole lot of turtles..
Considering their reputation for lack of speed, the sex must be extremely satisfying so of course they're always wanting more! 🤪
The little buggers are not as slow as people think.

Homosexual behaviour has been exhibited by every known species. Homophobia has only been documented in one .
Who's fuckin unnatural now?
Old man yaoi.
I was in a band by that name. We only played instrumental national anthems.
In hindsight, both factors might have limited our marketability a bit..
Where exactly is the line between "natural" and "unnatural" and why should Humans abide by what is Natural anyway?
Those who complain such nonsense are almost always those using religion in an attempt to control and/or manipulate others because "God" is in theory "perfect" and therefore unquestionable. They conveniently forget "God" not only isn't the one making the complaint, but is also the one who supposedly created what they're complaining about to begin with.

"Being gay is gay" is the tautology this whole thing will eventually evolve to as all their arguments get refuted one by one.
I wouldn't bet on it. If they cared about their arguments getting refuted via logic and/or facts, then they'd already have dropped their bullshit.
No, they're emotionally still children taught by bullies how to "win" by refusing to back down no matter what, and that "might makes right" so they all back each other up. It unfortunately all too often works for them by simply wearing out their opponents - who can't fathom not giving AF about the facts, and/or just don't know how to defeat such obstinance.
This is the sort of argument that might stick though "oh yea well world's oldest tortoise is a 150 gay monogomous male tortoise named Jonathan". The problem starts when people begin their discussions like "well scientific studies show that...". You should treat them like they have the attention span of a toddler.
