LGBT News Gay penguins in Kent zoo are 'the best parents'

I read about something like this in a science magazine a few weeks ago. It was really surprising to see that homosexuality occurs in hundreds if not thousands of species.

 

I don't see the point in telling the whole world they're gay,
They're now parents,
And have obviously taken on the role of doing so,
Their sexuality is IRRELEVANT,
And quite frankly not going to change peoples minds,
Just let it be,
I'm just glad the little chick is being looked after by two obviously loving parents!

End of.

 

Well I thought it was adorable.

But sadness that this isn't Kent, Ohio where I'm moving in a couple months. I got all excited to go visit them.

 

Very cute. Male penguins make good parents anyway.

 

That Hurricane is a dick.

I see this article as a sort of parallel to human life regarding unwanted, abandoned, or whatever children adopted by same-sex parents as a minor argument for adoption by same-sex couples. Or rather, one reads the article and thinks of one damn good reason same-sex parents should be able to adopt, that is to provide homes to children.

I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with this comment, I'm gonna shut up now.

 

Um, how is their sexuality irrelevant? One of the most common anti-gay arguments against homosexuality is that it's "unnatural" and human beings are the only sinful ones who choose to engage in it, while animals in nature are always heterosexual. This flies in the face of their bullshit talking points.

And yes, it's a pretty damn good parallel to human society, where a father produces an unwanted child and then runs away, leaving the mother unable to care for the child effectively and leading to the child's neglect. The gay male penguin couple taking in and adopting the baby penguin whose father neglected it is like the same-sex human couple who adopts a child who was being neglected by his/her heterosexual birth parents.

 

very very cute story - thank you for sharing

 

" Mr Binskin's wife Jackie said Hurricane was a "very inconsiderate partner who is happy to get Isobel pregnant", then "seems to think that his job is done". "

this made me laugh so much

 

I find it kind of surprising, actually, that they would let a father with such a bad parenting instinct to continually reproduce and replicate his genes.

I mean, couldn't it result in just a whole host of bad father mini-me's? (Out of his male offspring?)

If I were them, I'd retire his ass. ...And while they were at it, his peen and his balls, too. :roflmao:

 

When I read the words 'gay penguins' in the title my first thought was are they actually gay or have humans just assumed they are because penguins always look like impeccably well-dressed gentlemen :lol:

But indeed they are and the article is lovely and heartwarming.

They should send the CSA (Chick Support Agency) after Hurricane to confiscate a percentage of his fish to give to the chick, that will teach him!

 

You see gays and lesbians that want kids will do a good job taking care of them even the ones that were abandoned , If they let gays and lesbians adopt i bet many the Forster kids would have a happy home and love all they want is love and loving parents .
I bet that little chick is happy to have parents that love it and want it :icon_bigg
