Gays Outraged by Penguin Sex Test



Bremerhaven's Zoo am Meer said it would introduce four extra female penguins from Sweden to the group to see if the males really were gay.

But zoo director Heike Kueck said "gay groups worldwide have been cursing us since that announcement".

The zoo says it just wants to encourage the rare Humboldt penguins to breed.

The males have been observed trying to mate with each other and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

Gay groups insisted that penguins had a right to form couples without human interference, she said.



This is just too funny.

If you're so wrapped up in your cause or identity that you involve yourself emotionally with the sexual behavior of penguins, you need to relax. Seriously.

My thoughts....those "Gay Groups" should lighten up. I think the zoos motives are to ensure that there will be little penguins running around one day. It's hard to do that if all your male penguins are humping each other and trying to hatch baby stones. Funny ass hell though. Crazy little butt humpers.

They're just putting more females in with them. It's not like they're seperating the two males. If they're really gay, they won't go after the females. What the hell is the big deal?

Either they'll mate with the female penguins, or give them fabulous new ways to arrange their feathers. It's cool either way.

The female penguins will either have mates or new friends they can be catty about the other female penguins with.

I'm a penguin keeper in San Diego and can attest to ther same-sex proclivities of many of our animals. Penguins are loyal to their nest sites and males will meet up with males, females with females, every year. The female nests wind up overflowing with infertile eggs. Males, like the article said, will often resort to incubating rocks, or, if inside a refriferated enclsure, ice chips. Introducing new birds usually doesn't do the trick, but I can understand the effort. Humboldts are endangered and there was recently a conference in Chicago to draw up a species survival program. Most likely, the zoo will eventually split up the male-male pairs and trade them out to other zoos. Oh, the heartbreak.

Breed, for the good of your species!

Seriously though, perhaps the "gay groups" would lighten up if the Christian groups would stop claiming that homosexuality is an abomination not found anywhere else in nature.

If they're really gay, then a "Queer Eye for the Straight Penguin" series can't be far off.

Director Heike Kueck said that the project has the support of the European Endangered Species Programme because the penguins, which are native to South America, are an endangered species.

A biologist will be on hand to monitor the experiment.

But introducing the Bremerhaven penguins to their new Swedish friends may not be as successful as hoped after earlier experiments revealed great difficulties in separating homosexual couples.

In case they show no interest, the zoo has also flown in two new male penguins "so that the ladies don't miss out altogether", Kueck added.

The zoo originally defended the experiment, claiming that the birds were an endangered species, but following protests from gay rights groups, director Heike Kueck has said that the zoo is abandoning the plan.

She said: "Everyone can live here as they please."

Kueck said that it was neither her intention nor possible to separate the gay couples by force and interest them in their new female companions.

She added that the penguins had shown little interest in their new female companions but said that the programme could have been started too late in the year.

Gay groups had earlier protested against "the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses" in an open letter to Bremerhaven's Mayor Joerg Schulz.

More importantly the penguins are pissed off that they stopped playing It's Raining Men over the Zoo's loudspeaker.

Maybe there's a reason this species is endangered....
