Content

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

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 also received criticism for its political agenda. Several conservative political commentators criticized the film, including Fox Nation's Tomi Lahren.^[2][6]
