Gay Birds* anniversary card featuring adorable penguins in a subtle pride, Risograph style. This queer art piece is in our LGBTQ Love card collection, expressing the beauty of love in all its forms. Penguins have long term, monogamous relationships, finding their significant other year after year, making this perfect for the 9th, 10 year, or 11th anniversary and so on.
Did you know that penguin same-sex unions aren’t uncommon? Somewhere between 6-28% of couples are two males or two females, depending on the study. This love card pays tribute to the tender same-sex bonds occasionally observed in these delightfully quirky birds, whose waddling, monogamous partnerships and doting parenting remind us that love's affection and diversity extends across many species. From Roy and Silo raising Tango in Central Park to Ronnie and Reggie having their say in London Zoo, these unorthodox but utterly devoted penguin pairs have captured hearts worldwide, inspiring whimsical keepsakes that recognize love in its most unconventional - and adorable - forms.
The card is currently blank inside, let me know if you’d like poems like this added (you can also write by hand of course):
Every turn 'round the sun, it's clear and true—
With each year's passage, forever's just with you.
Or
Year on year, our love's the constant tide,
Nurturing dreams in warmth, side by side.
Or
In unwavering harbor, love's compass true,
Entwined souls navigate life's ocean blue.
*it isn’t really possible to tell whether long-term, monogamous same-sex pairs are gay, bisexual or pansexual but we can tell they are definitely queer. If you’re interested in non-heteronormative greeting cards, see the PastProgressivePrints Greeting Card section for more options.
