You read right.

A few years ago, the people who run the Berlin Zoo noticed that they were running short of penguins. So, they decided to separate some of the um, gay male penguins, and stick them in with some female penguins, in the hope that they would bump their little penguin uglies and make some little penguins. After all, an expedition to the Antarctic to get new penguins is no trivial matter.

The German gays went BALLISTIC! Enforced penguin heterosexuality! We're next!

I'm not kidding.

The point? There's a lot of people in this world who need to lighten up a bit. The love that dared not speak its name has, in the fullness of time, become the love that doesn't know when to shut up.

(I hooked this from the novelist Robertson Davies)

I'm very happy that people who are gay don't have to be worried about getting beaten up and killed for their preference. (yes, I said preference)

But, if you're looking for a round of applause from me, you may wait awhile.

Those male penguins never engaged in penetration, I don't believe.

A group of young male penguins bonding is no different than bachelor bands of young male horses....or any other group of young, immature males.

No. However, they were observed watching Judy Garland videos, hanging pink curtains on the ice floes, and quacking noises that sounded suspiciously like 'how FABULOUS!'

What is called it when two male birds exclusively hump each other, nest together, either steal eggs and hatch chicks or take in orphaned chicks, and then raised the chicks (with a much higher survival rate than chicks raised in male-female nestings) - and do so year-in-and-year-out monogamously for life?

I feel so much better now. I can finally sleep well again.

Power to the penguins!
Is buddy technically; gay, bi-sexual, or just gay for the stay?

Aged 20 and 10 respectively, Buddy had previously mated with a female.

Isn't it ironic. When a man sexually abuses a boy, he's probably a heterosexual pedophile? Exactly how does that wash out in the logic river? I'd say they are predatory homosexuals with a preference for young meat, easy prey. The show they put on as being heterosexuals seems to be what is commonly faked. Sad but true.
Nope. 60 years of research says your uninformed opinions are.... uninformed.

And incorrect.
