Animals aren't homosexual in the wild, this is just crap. The only time they exhibit this behaviour is under stress and wouldn't you know, most of the examples are in zoos. You might also get some of the "apparent" activity as manifested by dominance behavior, but in a nutshell it being "common in the wild" and "genetically based" is bogus activism based pseudo-science. It just isn't possible that it would survive selection over time.

"Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo, were a couple for about six years, during which they nurtured a fertilized egg together (given to them by a zookeeper) and raised the young chick that hatched."

How is it that two male penguins can be considered homosexual just because they cooperated in the raising of a baby penguin?

That makes no sense to me at all.

Were the two penguins engaging in any kind of sexual behavior together? My guess: No.
