What is wrong with you People!!!!!! Penguins raise abandoned eggs all the time! Why is it such a big deal if the Penguins happen to be male!!!!
Why is always about sex in the Midwest and South? What are you all afraid of? And the book doesn't say they were gay! They are penguins! Gay is a human term!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bed now.. More later!

Yeah, they are clearly overlooking the fact that in Emperor Penguin Biology it is the father that stands around for months hatching the egg while the mom goes off to find food.

Clearly the issues isn't homosexuality in penguins, it's stay at home dad's and the breakdown of marriage because of feminism.

*snerk*

Gay is a human term!

I don't even get why people use that term to mean homosexual. Gay means "happy". It meant happy before homosexuality was at the forefront of society's issues. Hell, it's even in the theme to the Flintstones (I'm waiting for a big stink to be raised about them changing that too). personally, if a couple is happy together, yes, you may refer to them as gay. But if it's a man & a woman, they also should be referred to as gay. I HATE HATE HATE how people take words and use them to refer to something else. (another example: Faggot. That does not mean a gay person. If you look it up, a faggot is a small bundle of wood. Or, in France, a cigarette).

Sorry to have gone off there. :)

I was irked at the penguin story too. I think it's NOBLE that the other penguins took care of these babies. How many humans would have done that?

And, as we all know, faggot and fascist share a root word "Fasces", which were a bundle of sticks used by roman senators to show their power. Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, but...

If you look closely at the Lincoln memorial, his right hand is gripping a set of Fasces. This makes him neither a dictator (a common anti-Lincoln charge at the time) or gay (a common anti-Lincoln charge today)...

Were the penguins having sex with eachother? if so, that might make them a bit gay...
