Send us a messageWelcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.If you've ever heard someone say being LGBTQIA+ is "unnatural," this episode is for you.This week on Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, Archie sits down with Lee Pivnick and Nicolas Baird, co-founders of the Institute of Queer Ecology, to unpack one of the most fascinating intersections of science, nature and queerness.From gay swans and bonobos to trans clownfish (yes, Finding Nemo got it wrong), we explore the incredible diversity of sexuality, gender and relationships found throughout the natural world. But this conversation goes far beyond animal facts.We dive into what queer ecology actually is, how science has historically overlooked queer perspectives, why biodiversity matters, and how viewing nature through a queer lens can change the way we think about ourselves, our communities and the planet.In this episode we discuss:What queer ecology actually meansSame-sex relationships throughout the animal kingdomGender-changing fish and the real story behind Finding NemoBonobos, gay swans and surprising animal behaviourClimate change, biodiversity and conservationWhy "it's not natural" is one of the weakest arguments against LGBTQ+ peopleWhether you're LGBTQIA+, an ally, a science nerd or simply curious, this conversation will completely change how you think about nature🎧 Listen now to learn about more than just gay swans...
