Watch: Penguin and seal participate in “consensual, beautiful, inspiring” non-binary love act!

A fine example for surfers.

Oh we humans, we Homo sapiens, are a vicious lot getting more and more vicious by the day. Those who self-identify as “left” refuse to speak with those who self-identify as “right.” Vegans won’t even look at pescatarians and say snotty things about them under their mung bean breath. Those who think the earth is round cannot stand the sight of those who think the earth is flat and take every opportunity to mock and belittle.

Tribes and camps.

We’ve separated ourselves into tribes and camps and loathe every tribe and camp not our own.

And we surfers may be worst of all. Tribes and camps within tribes and camps. Two surfers may vote for establishment Democratic candidates, for example, but if one rides a fish and the other rides a plus-sized fish then they will hate each other and look for ways to cause much harm one to the other.

Thankfully we have the animal kingdom to show us a better, more gentle way. To learn how to treat those different from us.

Love them even.

Recently we witnessed a benevolent killer whale saving an injured seal and a polar bear kissing a funny circus seal.

Today we have another seal but this one participating in a consensual, beautiful, inspiring non-binary love act with a handsome penguin.

If these two can cross species lines than shouldn’t a surfer who rides a Hayden shaped Hypto-Krypto be able to wake up next to a surfer who rides a Channel Island’s Neck Beard without shame?

Let us, like our animal friends, freely live, laugh and love.
