If those penguins were free of 'human interference' they wouldn't be in a zoo in the first place, would they?

Ah, you pointed out the irony so soon...

It's nice to know all the issues affecting gays are taken care of so they can focus on important issues like penguins.
It seems like every time the average Joe is getting over any aversion to gays they pull something like this to make the general population think there is something wrong with them.

Birdbrains at work here, and I'm not referring to the Penguins.

Gay penguins are old news for those of us in NYC -- we've had male penguin couples which have steadfastly refused females for years now

Ok, I am for homosexual rights, but this is just ridiculous. I know someone with a growing foal who, if the mood hits him :) would hump anything that is a horse, male or female. Does that mean he's gay, and the owner can no longer try to mate a $40,000, prime blood line arabian stallion?
NO! It just means that hes horny! *laugh*

Those gays cant stop can they, when you think they may actually make some headway, they come up with this piece of crap story. HILARUIOUS!!!!

**Matt W** · Mar 8, 2005, 08:18 am

It's the BBC - they're not known for making things up. Got anything to prove otherwise?

Gay penguins is nothing, try this article about a nobel prize winning study.

1 in 10 mallards are gay, they frequently engage in mid-air rapes and there is one with a fetish for homosexual necrophilia.
