Gay flamingos pick up chick

Only mammals have mammary glands that produce real milk. Birds produce what is called “crop milk,” food that is partly digested in the crop and then coughed back up and fed to fledglings.

I suppose a male flamingo can do that, although I haven’t found a source to confirm it. I think there are bird species where the mother and father share the duty of feeding their young.

All that said, it doesn’t have much bearing on whether this shows that homosexual behavior is “natural.” They are really desperate to prove that, but from either a religious or a Darwinian point of view, homosexuality is unnatural, because it involves sex without procreation and does not help preserve the species.

You think gay *flamingos* have it bad...?

I bet their nest looks fabulous.

Yes, they watch ‘QueerEye for Gay Flamingos’ Nest’ tv show on the GayBirds network.

ROFL!

The ridiculous lengths “gay” (never mind what I really want to call it) promoters will go to to prove they’re all OK, natural and normal.

If it weren’t for the “Gay ‘90s” and the legacy since, we wouldn’t be hearing these pathetic attempts to normalize homosexual humans by telling stories of some few abnormal wildlife.

That’s funny, because birds do NOT have...those...things....that men so worship of themselves.

What birds have are cloaca, which I think in males means they have to “reverse balloon” it to use it for male purposes.

I’m not sure if a bird would go to all that trouble for sex.

As someone else indicated, it probably means no more than the 2 guys are just good buddies who have no women.

There are numerous animals that mate for life.

Yes, but they have the good sense not to demand that the rest of us recognize their relationship as marriage (under pain of being labled zooophobic).

[massgopguy]

Bingo.

Do the gay activists really think that it makes them seem more natural if there is evidence of homosexuality in the animal kingdom???

I've heard pro-homo cheerleaders claim exactly that on numerous occasions. I've also been told that it's mildly rude to laugh out loud while pointing at them in response.

A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.
...
The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.

In case you missed it the first time, straight from the Department Of Repetitive Redundancy Department.

[Silly]

That's what I figure. But it's a ridiculous argument. Whenever someone points out to me that such-and-such an animal is sometimes gay, I say, "And hamsters eat their young. What's your point?"

LOL

Well played!
