Six gay penguins at a German zoo are still refusing to mate with females of the species flown in from Sweden in 2005, the zoo said on Wednesday.

The problem was that the female Humboldt penguins have proven too shy in their advances, the director of the zoo in the northern port city of Bremerhaven said.

"The Swedes will not make the first move," Heike Kueck said.

The females were flown in last year in a bid to bring the males to mate and help save the Humboldt species from extinction.

For me, the funniest part of this article was the following:

"The initiative to 'turn' the penguins and make them mate had prompted a furious response from gay rights groups."

I can just see the picket signs outside the zoo- "The penguins are gay, and that's OK!" etc.

I'm sure there's a good "Queer Eye" joke in here, but my brain has cooked off earlier than usual.

Is this the "Brokeback Mountain" sequel, Antarctic ersion?

Maybe, but I sure know there's an opening to post pictures of Sweedish females...

Gay Penguin Ping!

Jeesh...

Too bad they're gay. They're such snazzy dressers.

Ba-dum-dum!

Ok, couple of questions:

1. How in the hell do they know that the penquins are gay? What does a penquin do to become gay? I know they spend every minute in a tuxedo but does that make them gay? James Bond does that and he isn't gay (or is he?)

2.Owl Eagle,thanks for the pics but do any ladies here actually layout in the sun with high heels on?

[Millee]

Their nests are decorated really nice.

[najida]

Erm,
They DNA sex the birds via their feathers.

If two boys get together and they start gathering rocks to build a nest, it's assumed they are gay.

If a boy and girl penguin gather rocks, and the boy keeps bringing the girl rocks for the nest, they're assumed mated.

IF however, there is one girl penquin that ALL the boy penquins bring rocks to....then you know she's the village floozy.

BTW, that is a true story :)

Regarding #2...uh, no. Perhaps I'm missing something...

1. How in the hell do they know that the penquins are gay? What does a penquin do to become gay? I know they spend every minute in a tuxedo but does that make them gay?

From the article: The zoo has 10 male penguins of which six have shown strong signs of preferring male company and formed couples among themselves.

My husband likes to hang out with other males too and be away from the female group once in a while, but he certainly is not gay. Maybe these penguins just don't like the females that are available. Anyone ever thought of that? I mean, where's the variety, where's the flavor? Maybe they are confused, after all, don't all penguins look alike anyway?

Are they gay because they decorate their area in soft pastels (or do they shop at Target)?

IMO wearing a tuxedo does not constitute a "gay" male, but quiet the contrary.

And, as to the high heels in the sun, can't say I've done it, or known anyone else to, either.

This gay penguin thing, is more of an issue than I realized

How in the hell do they know that the penquins are gay?

 

The story doesn't say exactly, but I assume they were in my High School's drama club.

Problem solved!
They can't tell each other apart! SEE!

[Chanticleer]

Maybe they're metro?

[opticks]

You can tell you're a Freeper when you notice the gun next to the chick and wonder what kind it is! Seriously, boats are the ultimate lady lure.
