It’s not like there is anyone around who witnessed the sexual activities of the dinosaurs – so it seems a museum in the UK is taking some pretty fact-free liberties, with some items in its historical exhibits.

The agenda of the Hastings Museum Queer History & Trail map is pretty evident. “With queerness visible in the natural world, the argument that it is somehow ‘unnatrual’ begins to unravel,”  it claims in a pamphlet. One has to unravel actual science to make some of the claims stick, but as always - it’s agenda before facts for the left.

The UK museum’s pamphlet states “Despite queer behaviour in the animal kingdom being observed as far back as the 18th century, it is often ignored or hidden (it's a cover-up!) from the public,” adding “One example is of female pheasants changing their sex when they stop laying eggs and turn their brown feathers into the brightly coloured feathering typical of males.”

Except that there is no such thing as gender-fluid pheasants.

As the DailyMail UK reports:

Research cited in the guide, which is titled a Queer History Trail Map, is from an 18th-century ornithologist, John Hunter, who wrote an account of pheasants switching sex.

However, the research has now found the feather change is due to a hormonal imbalance caused by damaged ovaries and has also been witnessed in chickens. 

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, biologist and board director of the gender-critical campaign group Sex Matters Dr. Emma Hilton said the claims about pheasants were 'nonsense'.

She said: 'The only vertebrates that change sex are all fish. Birds do not change sex. 

Other than ignoring facts and modern science, the pamphlet also makes some pretty big stretches to include homosexuality.

Take for instance, a fossil of a dinosaur footprint. “We cannot comment on the sexuality of the dinosaur who made this footprint, but we do know that the 11-year-old boy who found it is now grown up, happily married to his husband Greg in a pink house in Hastings,” the pamphlet says.

“Queer history takes many forms, and in this case, it makes up an important part of the fossil’s provenance,” it adds. Sheesh.

These and other questionable-at-best queer claims can be found in the pamphlet published for the museum by the surprisingly named  - “The They/Them Studio.”

As to why you may have never heard this queer history before – the pamphlet answers that as well saying, “Eighteenth-century colonialism is responsible for the destruction of many ancient gender systems in countries around the world.” Of course, blame the colonial white man for interfering with your gender-fluid delusions.
