A German zoo has abandoned a plan to break up homosexual penguin couples after protests from gay rights groups.
The Bremerhaven Zoo in northern Germany had earlier flown in four female Humboldt penguins in an attempt to encourage three all-male couples to reproduce.
The zoo originally defended the experiment on the grounds that the birds were an endangered species. But after protests from gay rights groups, director Heike Kueck said the zoo was abandoning the plan.
"Everyone can live here as they please," Ms Kueck said.
She said it was not her intention, nor was it possible, to separate the gay couples by force and interest them in their new female companions.
She added that the gay penguins had shown little interest in the females, but this could have been because the program was started too late in the year.
Gay groups had protested against "the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses" in an open letter to Bremerhaven Mayor Joerg Schulz and called on him to stop the program.
Zoo keepers discovered that the homosexual couples had gathered rocks that they coveted like eggs and fooled their keepers for years into thinking they were boy-and-girl duos.
The zoo came up with the ingenious idea of trying to convert the males by flying in some exotic birds from Scandinavia. But the boys haven't exactly been fighting for a slice of the female action. On the contrary, they have shown their suitors the cold shoulder.
"The relationships were obviously too serious," Ms Kueck said of the same-sex penguin couples. Instead of flirting with the opposite sex, they seemed to prefer sitting on the stones, which substitute for the eggs they will never be able to lay.
The zoo, which promotes itself with the slogan "encounters of a special kind", initially wanted to wait until spring 2006 to see if their international matchmaking efforts spawned results.
Now the gay penguins are being allowed to live the way they want.
As for the Swedish females - new male penguins have been drafted in to attend to their heterosexual needs.
But after protests from gay rights groups, director Heike Kueck said the zoo was abandoning the plan... Gay groups had protested against "the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses" in an open letter to Bremerhaven Mayor Joerg Schulz and called on him to stop the program.
Yes Virginia, there IS a homosexual agenda. The homosexual community opposes ex-gay humans, so we shouldn't be surprised that they'd be against ex-gay penguins, too. This is another example of them stopping or twisting scientific research to suit their agenda.
These people are pathetic.

....they are out of the closet and you ain't heard nothin yet!!!!
Did they adopt this slogan before or after they discovered they had gay penguins?
The homos don't care about that. They just want to somehow justify their own perverted behavior. They can point to the penguins and say, "See! Homosexuality occurs naturally in animals!"
Yeah, right.
If these zoo keepers were smart they would go ahead and save the species without the PR.
Sad - we will leave these penguins longing for children they will never have sitting on stones that will never hatch in the name of political correctness.
Actually, that's the approach we seem to have taken with humans who suffer from this disorder. Shout down the ex-gay movement and leave human homosexuals longing for the bond they can never find in the name of political correctness.
Shalom.
Keep the bowl handy. I expect the flood to continue as the homosexual lobby continues to seek the acceptance it should never have.
Shalom.
As Detective Spooner said to Dr. Calvin in "I Robot" -
You are the dumbest smart person I have ever met.
Shalom.

If you are both homonausic then you need to join the Bigot and Redneck Alliance Against Defamation (BRAAD). We used to have a chapter on FR but JR asked us to cease.
The motto is, "We're here. We're intolerant. And we'll kick your a$$."
Shalom.
ROTFLMAO -Maybe this where the dems could finally crown themselves victor, gain victories, lead dumb constituents, and easily overcome any opposition -the animal kingdom?
Close. My theory is that intelligence must be maintained. If you skip the maintenance the intelligence wears away. The greater the population, the more you wear it away and the more maintenance it requires. Unfortunately, it requires the intelligent to maintain it and so ...
Shalom.
There appears to be a certain pattern here where if attempts to shut down science are made by gay rights groups or outraged feminists (think Lawrence Summers) they are somehow justified. Politically contingent science is weak science.
Tagline trigger, hippie!

A 55 gallon drum would probably be a better choice.
Animals don't think and reason like people do and "what" they do shouldn't be compared to human behavior, IMO.
This "gay animal" agenda is a bunch of hooey!
There's a lesson and a warning to be had here about these people and their values system. Let's look at what they have said to us:
