A pamphlet detailing LGBTQ+ history in England has become the talk of the town for mentioning the queer behavior of pheasants. Published by the Hastings Queer History Collective and designed by They Them Studio, the pamphlet serves as a guide to Hastings’s LGBTQ+ history and museum collections. One part of the guide covers Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, where a pair of stuffed pheasants is said to represent queer behavior among the birds. According to the pamphlet, female pheasants may change their sex when they cease laying eggs, transitioning from brown feathers to the brightly colored plumage typical of males. The pamphlet cites an 18th-century paper containing the earliest European studies of queer behavior in animals. #Queer Up Gay Culture
