Hard to believe, but for the first time ever there are photographs of humpback whales, apparently quite private, having sex, off the coast of Hawaii. Two males, it happens. Wouldn’t you guess? What will the Thumper see this as ungodly evidence of? It does make me wonder if all this time we have been misinterpreting the metaphor of the whale swallowing Jonah.

Did you read the rest of the story? Seems that the smaller whale was ill and emaciated and the larger whale forced himself on the other. That’s probably what Thumper and his minions will make of the story, as though it’s unheard of to do something like that in hetero world. (Sorry to rain on a perfectly good tale)
