Penguins In Same-Sex Relashes "Not Gay, Just Lonely"

Categories: Science!

Those who've had their crazy Christian brains confused by the preference of some male penguins for same-sex partners will feel vindicated by an (actual, real) article that ran in the U.K. Telegraph yesterday titled "Penguins are not gay, they are just lonely." Oh?

"There are not enough females in the colony and the males have high levels of testosterone, which drives them to engage in mating displays - even if it is with other males," the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Psychology found when studying same sex relations in a penguin colony in Antarctica. Furthermore, there were instances of homosexual pairs splitting up when they found heterosexual pairs with whom to raise baby penguins.

It's a good thing people are not small aquatic birds, or the anti-gay zealots might have some new "evidence" against the viability of homosexual lifestyles to bray about. Meanwhile, try telling Z, Vielpunkt, and their adopted chick that they don't really and truly love each other, and prepare to have fish paste spit up in your face.
