Queer Planet is a 2023 nature television documentary about LGBT behavior in animals, directed and produced by Ed Watkins.[2] The documentary is narrated by actor Andrew Rannells.
Content
[edit | edit source]The documentary is split into several parts. It talks about some of the animal species which exhibit LGBT behavior, particularly homosexuality and bisexuality, including lions, giraffes, and clownfish.
Reception
[edit | edit source]The film was generally received well by critics, with a particular emphasis on the series' wit and use of humor.[3][4] Matthew Rozsa of Salon.com wrote, "Queerness is everywhere in nature, despite claims to the contrary, and 'Queer Planet' underlines that sexual diversity isn't an anomaly. It's worth celebrating."[5]
However, the series received criticism for its political agenda. Several conservative political commentators criticized the film, including Fox Nation's Tomi Lahren, with Lahren stating: "If animals were indeed gay, there would be no more animals. Just basic science there."[2][6]
