Tomorrow, Boston’s favorite same sex couple returns to the Boston Public Garden. Romeo & Juliet, the two graceful swans that make the pond in the Public Garden their home will be back on Tuesday, May 7th at 11:00AM.
Back in 2005 (just a year after same sex marriage was legalized in MA) it was learned that Romeo is in fact a female, causing many conservatives who like to scream about how unnatural homosexuality is to cry foul (or is that fowl?)!
According to the zoo keepers who watch over the couple in the winter months, the two swans have been nesting together for more than a decade so if you should find yourself in Boston, head over to the Boston Public Garden and congratulate the city’s favorite lesbians on their longevity. I’m not sure what the divorce rate among swans is like but they certainly outlasted many of their human counterparts.
