【Woman Who Does as Her Oppa Wishes】

Ronnie and Woman Who Does as Her Oppa WishesReggie, two Humboldt penguins living in ZSL London Zoo, have a message for people this Pride: "Some penguins are gay. Get over it."

According to a blog from the zoo, the pair got together in 2014 and later adopted an egg that had been abandoned by another penguin couple.

"The pair shared parenting duties of their chick, Kyton, until he fledged the nest," reads the blog. "They remain as strong as ever and are often found snuggled up in their nest box together."

"The duo share their home with 91 other penguins, including fellow same sex couples Nadja and Zimmer and Dev and Martin, as well as one-year-old Rainbow who hatched during Pride celebrations last year and will celebrate her first birthday this weekend," the blog continues.

The banner is part of Stonewall UK's "Get Over It" campaign to tackle homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying.

Happy Pride, Ronnie and Reggie!
