Outdoor Educators Work to Be More Inclusive on Queer Issues
Good Times Santa Cruz ^ | January 21, 2020 | Jacob Pierce

The Monterey Bay is rich in beautiful sea life, with its pacific spiny dogfish, great whites, bat rays, harbor seals, sea lions, anemones, plankton, sea stars, and so much more. And of course, when young marine biologists look beyond this corner of the Pacific Ocean, the living permutations seem limitless. A quarter of a million species fill the world’s sprawling oceans, which cover more than two-thirds of the planet. As many as two million species are believed to lie undiscovered.

That diversity includes all kinds of shapes, colors and lifestyles. It encompasses hermaphroditic fish and a bevy of asexual beings—concepts not foreign to many members of the LGBTQ community and their allies.


Also out in the natural world many species eat their own young. What aspects of nature do you want humans to copy and what do you want to reject?

Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag
a World War I marching song, in 1915 written by Welsh songwriter George Henry Powell under the pseudonym of “George Asaf” .

A song to sing while they march in the great inclusive and diverse outdoors:

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile
While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag
Smile, boys, that’s the style!
What’s the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile

The lifestyle that most sea animals pursue is kill or be killed.

They only exist to eat other stuff that swims around in the ocean. And then they get eaten by something bigger.

So we are supposed to learn about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered fish, the LGBT spectrum applies to marine life??? Who knew????

When we go out to seafood restaurants, can we request a lesbian fish, so as to make a political statement?

>> ... staffers worried about mistakenly misjudging whether a young student identifies as a boy or a girl ...

A friend’s mom - who shot from the hip and died with her boots on at age 100 - used to refer to people she didn’t like as “it”. Sounds OK by me. (-:

Nature does not like diversity. If you are a termite and enter a ant colony you will be killed. If you are an antelope and enter a lion’s den you will be eaten. Animals in nature hang around with their own kind.

Indeed. The fallacy here is not only seeking to use the animal world as a model for humans, but treating all species of fish as analogous to mankind, and the two are contradictory. For perverse aberrations within a species can get one killed.

Are they trying to get us to talk about fish sticks? If you like fish sticks does that make you a gay fish?
