One half of world famous penguin couple passes away

Sphen and Magic became famous six years ago when the two male penguins took up together at the Sydney Aquarium. The couple built a nest and would go on to nurture two penguin babies. The story of Sphen and Magic’s relationship coincided with the legalization of gay marriage in Australia, and the pair were soon adopted as gay icons, inspiring a float at Sydney’s Pride parade. Hosts Carolyn Beeler and Marco Werman have their story.
