Genuinely funny, haha.
Were you feigning confusion so that you could start talking about gay penguins? You do remember a time when homosexual couple were controversial…right? Are you 9 years old?
It’s perfectly intuitive why someone would be curious about another’s parents if it were obvious both biological ones weren’t around. To the extent it’s not intuitive to you, you’ve been trained to forget.
Actually that’s a very good point. I’m not 9 years old but I was around that age when gay marriage was legalised where I live, and I genuinely don’t remember gay couples being controversial unless someone was talking about the Middle East or the Bible Belt.
Are you a millennial or from a more conservative region? This definitely could be a generational divide thing.
The gay penguins came later, I was mostly trying to say that homosexuality and gay adoption is a lot more natural than all the man made horrors/wonders beyond our comprehension that we’ve invented. A good portion of the population literally wastes hours every day watching AI hallucinated videos in a borderline trance, and a surprisingly large minority has a sycophantic chatbot as their only friend and even lover.
Also the penguins were bi IIRC. Even penguins suffer from bi erasure, alas.
