In 1972, biologists George Hunt and Molly Warner make an unprecedented discovery while on one of California’s Channel Islands. To their surprise, a great number of the nesting seagull pairs they observe are both female. George and Molly’s research on “gay gulls” quickly triggers both outrage and jubilation in a nation grappling with the rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
