Etc.
Anyone here on this board with so many dedicated homosexual activist, who will defend these absurd allegation by homosexual spokesmen?
Not me. Keeping females around is hardly abuse of the penguins. It doesn’t have anything to do with “curing” homosexuality.
Oh, and this story made me smile for like half an hour when I first read it.
This is research, for crying out loud. Homosexuality in animals is undeniable. The researchers are seeing if there is any environmental factor at all in this species of penguin, such that the presence of females causes any heterosexual behaviour whatsoever.
These activists seem to fear that any such result might be misinpterpreted as “homosexuality is curable by exposure to teh opposite sex”. It’s rather like asking for a football match not to be played because of fears of losing to an absurd refereeing decision.
What if the new female penguins decide to ignore the males and prefer each other? 
The males will be happy if they get to watch.
Not if they’re gay males…
I think owl meant the male Germans.
Hot Swedish penguin action … ya, das is gut
Hot pengiun on penguin action will soon sort them out.
Am I the only one thinking of Opus’s autobiography, Naked Came I?
This issue won’t get off the ground. Do you really think anyone other than a troll would side with these knee jerk protestors? The penguins won’t mind, and they don’t even have knees.
Same here. It was one of those things that made me laugh out loud in traffic.
The Zoo is trying to breed more penguins. What a concept to bring in more females. I think the Zoo people need to get out more.
Nice reference.
Imagine the politics-laden imbroglio if we had gay pandas at the Natl. Zoo? Oy freakin’ vey!
At least they might tell the other pandas to apply the eye-liner with a bit more subtlety.
There was a headline about “Anti-gay Primates” in the Telegraph today suggesting a reactionary backlash down at the zoo – but it turned out to be about the Anglian Church
"Six penguins at Bremerhaven Zoo in north-west Germany provoked excitement across the world when, in the absence of any females, they were discovered wandering around in pairs, trying to mate with each other and sitting on stones as if they were eggs.
And in other breaking news that’s exciting researchers around the world, homosexual behavior is observed at San Quentin.
Although the ersatz egg-hatching would be unusual.
One would assume there is more to der pengkvin-sexualitat than what the Telegraph is letting on.
I’m not so sure. Are we allowed to even imply the “F” Name on this board?
They only eat the low fat versions of chinese food - the bamboo shoots. They keep their cages tidy. They also refuse to mate with female pandas (despite being shown how-to porn (this is, rather wonderfully, completely true). They are also non-agressive, despite being bears (sort of).
I think you may be onto something…
I was thinking of Frank Zappa’s “Penguin in Bondage,” myself.
Why wouldn’t we?
Just don’t want to piss off Cecil by mentioning the competion, is all. :eek:
