>what did the author mean by publishing this article
It's pretty obvious. Find every example of a defective behavior in history and nature in an attempt to promote it. Pedo activists online have doing their own version of that by mentioning Stoats.
"Males will also take advantage of any female kits inside the nest and mate them too, despite these babies being just two weeks old! This can seem a little alarming to us, humans, but it guarantees the stoat passes on his genes."

(1) The article actually claims that it's the first time whales have been seen copulating which is flat out wrong. So it's safe to assume other details are wrong.
(2) This is what the article actually says -
"The photographs in the paper show Whale A lifting his head, arching his lower back and lowering his tail, forming an S-shape—a position whales sometimes assume when feeling threatened or stressed.
What’s more, Whale A was sick. He was emaciated, and his body was covered in whale lice (Cyamus boopis), turning him a brownish color. These parasites live on a humpback’s skin and can multiply rapidly when the host is injured or sick. A serious jaw injury, probably from a boat strike, was likely the cause of this particular whale’s poor health because it affected his ability to feed. “It looks like the other male took advantage of the weak individual,” Meynecke says. Whale B was seen the following year, but there have been no more sightings of Whale A"

Yeah wow, how romantic. What a win for the LGBT community. Also, I wouldn't be at all surprised that the injury didn't come from a boat but actually from the whale that was raping it to death.
