“Gay” Penguins and the Penguin Sexual Revolution

People are sometimes just well strange… Case in point. I was reading this morning about a flap at the Bremerhaven's Zoo in Bremerhaven, Germany. The story is that the zoo has six endangered Humboldt penguins. After a few years of not mating and not producing any offspring, in order to help the penguins get of the endangered list, the zoo does some testing and discovers that 3 of the penguins are really male instead of female as was "believed". I guess determining the sex of a penguin is a little more difficult than just taking a peek. I bet being the vet tech for the penguins is a sucky job. Just imagine: the vet tech says, “Um boss I can’t tell if these damn things are male or female.” “Damn it look again,”screams the vet. Anyway… I digress. So the zoo decides to fly in some hot and sexy Swedish female penguins (I am not joking). These new temptations haven’t worked and the male penguins still are not interested in "female" penguins. Meanwhile the gay and lesbian community has begun to protest gay penguin rights. "All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been emailing and calling in to protest," a spokesman for Bremerhaven's Zoo on the Sea in northwestern Germany said. The protests have become so bad that the zoo released a statement saying, “The penguins can remain gay”.

So does this mean that soon there will be a call by penguins, of course, for laws recognizing Gay Penguin Marriage? Do they get healthcare for their “life partner”? It just seems a silly thing to protest about when after all, the zoo is only trying to keep the poor penguin from extinction…
