When my daughter came out to me she asked if being gay was “natural.” A classmate had suggested otherwise. As a professor of animal behavior I shared 2k+ examples from the animal kingdom! Those became a book. Today it’s still #1 top release & #3 best seller. #LoveWins #WildPride

My hope is that this book will help spread the message that love, in all its consensual forms, is natural—and that we should celebrate it with unabashed, unapologetic Wild Pride!.5/5.#WildPride.

What began as a series of fun animal facts for my daughter grew into this book, made up of playful, scientifically-cited quippy one-liners, coupled with bright (family-friendly!) illustrations. 4/5.#WildPride.

This project started when my daughter asked me if being gay was “unnatural” (after a classmate had suggested as much). As a professor of neurobiology & animal behavior, I assured her: #homosexuality is, in fact, “natural,” & found throughout the animal kingdom! .3/5.#WildPride.

Given the current climate, where so many in our LGBTQIA+ community continue to face injustice and ignorance, I wanted to make available a limited number of copies while I begin the search for a publisher. 2/5.#WildPride.
