In one of the most adorable stories to come along in a very long time, two penguins at the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium have fallen in love, exchanged special rocks to prove their commitment and are now raising an egg. Oh, and they are both male.
Sphen and Magic, the two Gentoo penguins were given a foster egg to nurture and things are looking good. Each penguin is taking turns caring for the egg while his "husband" watches out for intruders. The world has fallen in love with these two guys.
Sydney's Sea Life aquarium says it is a gay penguin couple, Sphen and Magic, and they are hatching an egg together… https://t.co/uYUPa3KRta— Josh Butler (@Josh Butler) 1539301763.0

If you can take a gay penguin joke and spin it into a dig on Melania Trump, you officially win the internet.
With that settled, people got back to loving Sphen and Magic and meanwhile Sea Life Sydney Aquarium were on there best Twitter game.
