German 'Homosexual' Penguins Spark Gay Protest

Fri Feb 11,12:06 PM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A plan by a German zoo to test the sexual appetites of a group of suspected homosexual penguins has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian groups, who fear zookeepers might force them to turn straight.

"All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been e-mailing and calling in to protest," said a spokesman for the zoo in the northwestern city of Bremerhaven on Friday.

He said the zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after seeing male penguins trying to mate with other males and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory, but when word got out about the plan, the phones started ringing.

"Nobody here is trying to break-up same sex pairs by force," the zoo's director Heike Kueck told public broadcaster NDR. "We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."

Female Emperor penguins have demonstrated the same behavior in Antarctica when they can't find a mate, nestling stones under their bellies to keep them warm. Kind of sad really.

German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory,

Mmmm. Blonde penguins. It's gonna be hard to resist. No wonder the gays are protesting.

... if the mission of them blondes fails, they could possibly turn into some blonde NE lesbo.

WHOA...

The survey says ...

Actually, homosexual interaction is extraordinarily common and has been documented in over 450 different species. Bisexuality is clearly evident in nature.

Researchers have found that the behaviour is not simply related to isolation/population (i.e., both males and females are present) but, in fact, are socially motivated in some animal groupings.

Wonder what kind of explanation YYC will come up with to defend gay German penguins?

Imagine an alien abduction of a gay/lesbian group. Aliens trying to mate humans in captivity without any success. He He He.

These people are nuts. They are protesting the penguin's right for sexual preference, but not their freedom?

Gays and Lesbians have their right to choose, but isn't it every guy's goal to convert lesbians into bi-sexuality? They should be protesting all males as well.

Funny thread.
