      LOL😂 i never laugh so hard about the gay parade! About the secrets we choose to hide, and the ones we choose to share! For those who didn't understood; the flamingo who landed in the lake where happens to have a flamingo parade( wich is another name for gay parade), is a "straight" flamingo, right? He disapprove all that happy mess around, and felt shocked and riled up when the gays confused him as being another one of them. However, he sees the beatiful heron and fall in love with her. Going after her, he found out that the elegant lady seems a serious, and demure straight partner for him. But he forgot that he was a pink flamingo, reason more than enough to be rejected and despised in a world of straight black and white birds of black"n'white thoughts! He, then, confuses the demonstration of love, with force and aggressiveness, when observing the mating of the tigers- so he thought it would be a good idea to conquer her beloved adopting the posture of a predator, a "macho man", and, also, the respect of a very conservative society who once had already rejected him for being a pink bird! As we could see, it was a very bad idea, because the black'n'white birds rejected him, now, for two reasons- because he was pink and because he was a predator!! Disappointed and giving up to conquer her beloved, he is misunderstood by the gay community, who confuses him by being one of them, and everybody goes there to welcome him and celebrate his supposed " out of the closet"! While he's struggling to explain to that people that he's not gay or even liked what he consider, maybe, deviations from a normal sexual behavior, suddenly, appears her beloved, dressed like a dominatrix, reveling to him, a hidden side of her, and her intimacy, that no one could ever suspect under her cover of a "good daughter"!
      In the end, no one cares for that( at least, the flamingos), everybody's having a great time, a good party, and celebrating the love! 'Cause what really matters in this life, is that you have to deal with who you are, accept yourself, love a lot yourself, and do everything you can to be happy, and that doesn't mean it has to be the way that others may think you should be or behave, 'cause at the end of the day, the reflection on the mirror is your face, not others opinions! Be happy the way you are; accept the difference, 'cause to somebody else, you, too, may look different; love and be loved, and live a full life! That's the message of the comic we just saw!!
      Cheers, people!
      From Brazil; with love!💓💕

    If you are confused by the moral it's very obvious but, the story is saying that not everyone of one group is like the stereotype, sure there can be people who enforce that stereotype but nobody is one in the same. For example, the stork is seen as elegant and prim, but in reality she's a dominatrix. Same goes for the flamingo, who is stereotyped as gay but in reality he's straight and in love with the stork.

      Ehh, I kinda doubt it... It's kind of weird to stereotype all those gay flamingos as rowdy and all, it feels a bit like whoever made this "plot" is homophobic, like they think gays are these wild, loud people. There sure are gay people who act like that, but there are calmer ones as well.
      I thought at first this might be like some metaphor to make straights understand how it is to be a minority, where the norm is forced upon you, but this is just weird.

      This was somehow homophobic and heterophobic at the same time. The straight birds were all miserable and judgmental, and the gay birds were all happy but they didn't know what personal space meant at all. They just kind of acted like the word "No" doesn't exist. Wild. They also had a lot of stereotyping in this.

    Here is my attempt to summarize the film:
    Main flamingo lives among lots of other freely expressive LGBTQ+ flamingos but decides he ain't into that so he goes for the basic stork girl. The stork is raised in your average cis hetero society, he tries to impress her but only embarrasses himself. He sees two tigers fucking and for some reason he dresses up in a tiger outfit?? The standard suburbans think he's an absolute weirdo whereas the gay flamingos love his new look. Feeling dejected, he wanders away from the crowd and then we discover the reason why the lady stork liked him was that she was a sadist. The end...?

    Oh yes, the problem with stereotypes. It's not because you're a flamingo that you have to be gay, and it really sucks when everyone wants to tell you what you are or what you like. Flamingos are graceful, and being graceful is being feminine in society's eyes, that's why he was trying to be more fierce like a tiger, which can be seem as being more masculine. Of course it didn't work, people will see what they wanna see in the end, it doesn't matter how you change yourself.

      Nowaday however, tigers’ habitat have been reduced so much that those places flamingos usually migrate to provably have none left.

    Here are my thoughts on this:
    I'm trying really hard like most people in the comments to find the moral of this story. My best guess is that you shouldn't judge others based on what they look like or where they came from or that there seems to be only 2 groups to choose from; gay and straight. The assumption moral: The flamingo was a flamingo so the marshland birds assumed he was gay. He also dressed up like a tiger and the stork assumed he'd like bdsm. Same with how the flamingo assumed the stork was traditional and not into bdsm. Only 2 groups moral: The stork did not fit in either group. With that being said, it was a little tone deaf in these subjects and I believe the creator wasn't able to successfully portray the moral. Felt more like a Loony Tunes short with the bird always getting harassed and never winning. I know it was purposefully exaggerating gay stereotypes, I actually found the exaggeration of Pride gatherings to be funny because they make me hella anxious and I'm lgbt. They even played along with straight people stereotypes wearing ties, gossiping, and being void of fun. But the end where the flamingos filled the screen seemed like they were trying to say gay people would be the majority of the population and take over, and that just doesn't sit right with me. It would have been WAY better in my opinion if the flamingo found a third option instead of the two. A place that he belongs. It would have shown the audience that there doesn't have to be just two groups to choose from and you'll find your group eventually. I actually thought he was asexual heteromantic until the dress-up scene happened.

There are a lot of people who really, truly struggle to find the moral here, but this is really by-the-book satire, I promise. Even the people's reactions to this animation can be seen as part of the art... Imagine there being a clip at the end of some really odd-looking birds watching this on a screen in the dark, where one is offended, one loved it, and there's a third in the middle just trying to make peace with the fact that his friends have such different viewpoints. lol

      I took the end as him finding that group, kinda. Sort of "you'll always find freaks like you". But I suppose it only works if you're into BDSM and that's kind of a basic assumption (that everyone/most ppl would be) on the same level as the heteronormative birds I suppose.

Which is a contrast compared to the more earthly colors and much more relaxed out-look the more traditional marshland creatures show. Also the more private and calm aspect of the marshland birds contrast with the more loud and open feel of the flamingos.

The stork itself seems to be the one who is an adherent of the typical gray mass, and in the end it turns out that she is a mistress.
