Ronnie and AnticipationReggie, 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 banner is part of Stonewall UK's "Get Over It" campaign to tackle homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying.
Happy Pride, Ronnie and Reggie!
