Feeling anxious or blue? Pull up a chair and listen to one of my favourite stories from 2020, the derring-do, soap opera tale of two gay penguin lovers kidnapping eggs from their lesbian penguin neighbors at a Dutch zoo: 1/ https://www.thecut.com/2020/10/gay-penguins-stole-an-entire-egg-nest-from-lesbian-penguins.html
2. Zookeepers often give nesting couples free unhatched eggs, but these two gay lovers "with a reputation for trouble" and an eagerness for fatherhood didn't wait & took matters into their own flippers, stealing a whole nest from two lesbian mamas. https://twitter.com/dpamersfoort/status/1318463142263967746?s=19
3. The "conniving boys" have since been sharing caregiving duties, taking turns keeping the eggs warm & foraging for fish.
Meanwhile, per usual, the female penguins have no recourse.
They get the last laugh, though, as the eggs weren't fertilized and won't hatch.

4. As a side note, this isn’t the first time the fellas have resorted to unlawful action: Just last year, the same couple stole an egg from a heterosexual penguin family and faced zero repercussions for doing so. So, emboldened, they tried again this year. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/gay-male-penguins-steal-lesbian-couple-s-eggs-dutch-zoo-n1244575
