Well that is interesting

Still plenty to be afraid of, especially the burning stupidity. But we hit the lighter side of the news with this article. I really didn’t think about the real world problems of same sex marriages. Especially among penguins.

Seriously.

Gay Penguins Steal Entire Nest From Lesbian Penguins to Become Dads

I think this sums it up pretty well.

Two gay penguins at a zoo in the Netherlands brazenly stole an entire nest from another couple, complete with eggs, in an attempt to raise a rainbow family. Their efforts might be in vain, zookeepers at Amersfoort’s Dierenpark Zoo told RTV Utrecht, though, because it is believed the pair nest-napped from a lesbian penguin couple, meaning the eggs are most likely unfertilized and will not hatch.

“We also had a lesbian couple at the time,” zookeeper Sander Drost explained recently. “It could be that they stole it from that couple.”

What, no transgendered penguins?

“The males took the egg from a straight couple at an unguarded moment,” zookeeper Marc Belt explained to RTV Utrecht last year. Noting that “homosexuality is more common in penguins,” he went on to observe it was nonetheless “remarkable” that the couple “managed to get hold of an egg.”

“more common”? It looks like it runs rampant.

There’s even an exclusive male community of penguins in Hamburg — though they haven’t all shown signs of same-sex intimacy.

I’m sure they all will, if they know what is good for ’em.

So all I have to say, isn’t that interesting?
