Oh, but gay penguins are the cutest!

Anyone recall the gay penguins in NYC who raised a chick together?

People are such idiots. Live and let live. And leave the gay penguins alone!

Well I can understand the endangerment issues, but when I read this sentence my heart just melted...

"She said that the birds had been mating for years and one couple even adopted a stone that they protected like an egg."

It was a completely "awwwe" moment. A stone! Who'da thought?

Why doesn't it surprise me that the zoo trying to break up the gay penguins is in Germany? They'll probably force the gay penguins to wear pink triangles, in an attempt to build a master race of superior Aryan penguins.

In the Central Park Zoo, there are two gay couples...one of the couples are both female.

I love this. it totally shows those skeptics wrong about homosexuality in animals.

Maybe now they can take up the issue with their God on a different level.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

These birds will face the wrath of God!

It really must have hurt giving birth to that stone...

I know...I passed a kidney stone recently...

Were the gay Penguins male or female or both??

re: Plight of the Gay Penguins

Male I believe...

i wonder which orifice the stone passed through...

That could REALLY hurt...

*wipes tears from my eyes*

I recall the NYTimes article on gay penguins. I'm surprised Bush hasn't come out condemning the penguins. The penguins are definitely going to hell. But at least they'll be wearing tuxedos and be dressed properly!

I remember on The Real World: New Orleans, Julie said "I don't understand homosexuality, because you don't see it in other aspects of life, like you don't see gay animals. You don't see gay bunnies"

Well not quite a bunny, but Penguins are still animals. Someone should forward the article to her.....


Also, I wonder if they play roles, meaning does the "mother" penguin sit on the stone/egg, while the "father" penguin goes and looks for food?

Is this REALLY new information?? There has been talk of gay animals for several years now. Almost all species of animals have been documented to include homosexuality.

Glad to know that you only post new information. You are so much more up to date than the rest of us.

I've heard it before. I just thought this story was cute.

Before you get all cranky, MA, I was speaking to those whose replies to the thread seemed to think this was new information.

I was not criticizing the originator of the thread.
