Maybe they should hold wedding ceremonies for the birds.
The average life span for gay penguins is only 10 to 12 years, compared to 15 to 20 years for heterosexual penguins.
If ten years ago someone told me that gay penguins would be a major news story some day, I would not have believed it.
It's always interesting to know what the PC priorities are. The Anita Hill case showed that feminism trumps black victimhood. Bill clinton and Juanita Broaddrick showed that defending abortion rights is more important than helping rape victims. Now we learn that the gay rights of Humboldt penguins trumps the survival of their species.
I suppose the right of penguins to enjoy gay sex, even if it kills them all, is analogous to the right of gays to spread AIDS among their friends, even if it kills them all.
But it's interesting to have that confirmed.
