Roy & Silo were two male penguins who paired up and raised a chick named Tango in 1999. Since then, biologists have discovered that same-sex activity is actually very common in nature! But both scientists and LGBTQ+ activists tend to discourage “gay” as a label for animals, because it’s not really a parallel to the human experience.
