Queer'n Nature

Here's to shining a spotlight on trans farmers, small-town lesbians and nature's queer quirks as well: seahorse daddies and horny giraffes.

Evolution's Rainbow

In this innovative celebration of diversity and affirmation of individuality in animals and humans, Joan Roughgarden challenges accepted wisdom about gender identity and sexual orientation. A distinguished evolutionary biologist, Roughgarden takes on the medical establishment, the Bible, social science--and even Darwin himself. She leads the reader through a fascinating discussion of diversity in gender and sexuality among fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals, including primates.

It's not as much a successful attempt to disprove Darwin as it is a beautiful collection of non-human queers.

"Out Here is a full-length documentary film created by the Queer Farmer Film Project. Completed after 4 years in production, it looks at the experiences of queer farmers across the country and asks – what does it mean to be a queer farmer, is agriculture a safe space for queer people, and what are the relationships between food production and queerness?" (From their website www.outheremovie.com)
