What's Poppin' with Pink Dolphins?

To the growing roster of gay icons of the animal kingdom, please welcome ... a PINK DOLPHIN! Straight out of a second-grader's sketchpad, this titillating Tursiops truncatus lives in a Louisiana lake and has been making waves on the internet today, thanks to the appearance of some vivid new photos.

He's not a hallucination, he's an ultra-rare albino bottlenose dolphin (not to be confused with the Amazon River Boto, a species of naturally pink freshwater dolphin). First spotted in 2007, he's apparently already something of a local celebrity, and will no doubt be immortalized in countless liberal children's books.
