Broadsheet: Gay penguins won't go straight

In an update to an earlier post...Uhhh - I could have told them this.

The female penguins were flown in especially from Sweden in an effort to encourage the Humboldt penguins at the Bremerhaven Zoo to reproduce.

But the six homosexual penguins showed no interest in their new female companions and remained faithful to each other.

UPDATE 2/12: Well, I guess this was inevitable.

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.

Stupid homosexual penguins... why do they hate, um, Germany so much? Why must they undermine traditional penguin morals so?

But you know, those female penguins really felt understood for the first time in their lives. They had someone to go shopping with who could give them real opinions -- who liked them just for themselves and didn't just stare at their rack.

I was not aware that penguins had racks. Huh.
