"Gay" penguins spark protest
1 hour, 4 minutes ago
BERLIN (Reuters) - A plan by a German zoo to test the sexual appetites of a group of suspected homosexual penguins has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian groups, who fear zookeepers might force them to turn straight.
"All sorts of gay and lesbian associations have been e-mailing and calling in to protest," said a spokesman for the zoo in the northwestern city of Bremerhaven on Friday.
He said the zoo concluded the penguins might be gay after seeing male penguins trying to mate with other males and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.
German media reported that female Swedish penguins would be brought to the zoo to test the theory, but when word got out about the plan, the phones started ringing.
"Nobody here is trying to break-up same sex pairs by force," the zoo's director Heike Kueck told public broadcaster NDR. "We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."

This is one of the funniest things I've read in ages! thanks for the good laugh. I didn't realize gay rights extend to penguins!

"We don't know if the three male pairs are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females."
Gee, what are the chances that is the case? I'm curious to know currently how many females are in there with them as it is now. And if I recall correctly, penguins pick a mate and stick with them for life.

But that one didn't focus on the protests by homosexuals.
I love the line: But introducing the Bremerhaven penguins to their new Swedish friends may not be as successful as hoped after earlier experiments revealed great difficulties in separating homosexual couples.
Have they tried a crowbar?

These brilliant zoo keepers didn't know the sex of these dudes for years and now they're just coming up with this garbage? I think SOMEONE knew all the time and this whole scenario is a planned farce.
Don't bring more penguins into this farce. Put the penguins back in their natural habitat and get them out of this "prison" situation.

Thanks for your "already posted here" comments.
But tell me, where in your story does it say that gays were protesting the move by zoo keepers?
Maybe next time you should read before you comment.
