A TOURIST attraction has been mocked for launching a special exhibition of “non-binary” fish.
Bristol Aquarium says visitors can see species that “challenge binary classifications” and “parallels between marine life and the rich spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities”.
APThe exhibition will tell how clownfish can change from male to female[/caption]The exhibition is to highlight “diversity in all its forms”.
Bosses at the popular tourist hotspot explained that guests would be shown fish which have ‘sequential hermaphroditism’ – the ability to change biological sex naturally.
The phenomenon occurs in fish to help endangered species reproduce naturally underwater.
They include the wrasse, which can change from female to male, and the clownfish, which typically change from male to female.
But Spectator columnist Lionel Shriver wrote: “We’re presumably to conclude . . . that because some fish change sex and hermaphroditic undersea organisms are commonplace, for humans sex is a phantasmagorical multiple choice and we can change sex, too.
“If some fish can change sex . . . [it’s] to their Darwinian advantage.”
The Sunset Seas event will be held on June 28 and is part of Bristol’s Pride Month celebrations.
Chloe O’Dell, events and experiences manager at Bristol Aquarium, said: “Our oceans are full of incredible stories of transformation and diversity.
“Sunset Seas is our way of celebrating those stories while creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful space for people to connect and be themselves.”
