Mike Judge called this decades ago
“Gays don’t exist in nature because we hid the research done in the 70’s!” Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah… “Climate change doesn’t exist because we hid the research done in the 70’s!” – Exxon
I think the previous century will historically become known for all the things we hid the research on and pretended didn’t exist. 🙁
The podcast episode: https://radiolab.org/podcast/seagulls
Lulu Miller also discussed the history of study of queer behaviour among animal communities (with reference to the Radiolab episode above) on the You’re Wrong About podcast, it was a really fun episode and I highly recommend it: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1112270/13026519-lesbian-seagulls-with-lulu-miller
Ooh, I love You’re Wrong About, putting this in the queue for sure.
It sucks that these studies were hidden for so long. Access to knowledge is so important for society
Lesbian seagulls ❤❤❤ warmed my heart… Hearing the research was hiiden 😭 not shocked
