A Californian whale seems to be celebrating recent Pride events, shooting colourful rainbows from his blow hole.

Yep, you read correctly. This incredible footage shot off the coast of Southern California shows the marine mammal shooting rainbows out of his blowhole – quite apt, considering America’s recent gay marriage ruling.  Okay okay, we know that it’s more of a case of the sun hitting the water spurts at just the right time and place, making a colourful rainbow like arch, but still pretty cool!

There is a chance the whale could be gay though, as homosexual behaviour between whales is pretty common – with one third displaying same-sex attraction at some point.

Watch the amazing footage below.
