never say anything to a penguin that the penguin has not already said to you
this reads like a shitpost but i’m actually 100% serious.
i was walking along the side of the harbour this evening, just after all the penguins had come in from the ocean to nest. there was one penguin right by the footpath, and when it saw me it kept saying ‘höö’. so i said ‘höö’ right back. it seemed to like that, and we had a lovely conversation where we just kept saying ‘höö’ to each other. i crouched down about two metres away from it, and we kept talking, and it actually moved towards me a little bit, seeming to prefer my company to the heartless embrace of the sea.
but then i made the mistake of trying to change things up. i said ‘hweh’, which was something that a previous penguin said to me, and this penguin hated it, and fucked right off. never said another word to me. i felt so rude.
But it’s not illegal. Marriage is just not recognized as something lawfully binding. No one is being arrested for being homosexual and loving another. lol
If you’re a LGBT citizen in Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, UAE or parts of Nigeria, being gay is punishable by death. (Source:LGBT relationships are illegal in 74 countries, research finds, by Siobhan Fenton) So yeah, no one is arrested for having a different sexual orientation. They’re killed for it.
Also, until 2003 being LGBTQ WAS illegal in 13 states.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_v._Texas Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003) is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court. The Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas in a 6-3 decision and, by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states, making same-sex sexual activity legal in every U.S. state and territory.
They used to kick down gay people’s doors and arrested them while they were in bed.
They used to raid gay bars to find crossdressers, GNC and trans people to arrest (that’s how Stonewall happened).
They used to make up fake charges against gay people to allow them to still arrest them for being LGBTQ.
It being legal to be gay in the US is a very new thing.
Today is one of those days when I realize that people below the age of 30 know a very different world than I do.
They’re literally rounding up gay people and putting them in concentration camps in Chechnya.

Hermione smugly presenting the findings of the international symposium that declared Pluto not a planet as final proof that astrology is made up.
But it turns out that’s what’s been throwing off everyone’s readings so a lot of divination quickly starts becoming more refined and accurate when they take that into account.
Hermione is hailed as a divination savant and that’s what she’s most known in the history books for.
