Gay Penguins...
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4264913.stm

Can penguins really be gay?? Aren't they just stupid? :p:

Isn't this PC going over the top again? Surely it can't be instinct to be a homosexual penguin or they would be extinct?

Sure all the zoo is trying to do is get them to breed?

Surely this is a display of too much testosterone rather than sexual orientation. The stones thing just proves my "penguins are stupid" theory.

My brother's dog tries to mate with anything it sees when it is randy. Arm chairs, legs, other dogs etc etc. It doesn't mean it's gay, just randy.

[prepares for wave of homophobic comments....] :rolleyes:

Penguin sex education must be really messed up....

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Well they must be doing something right - you don't see underage chavved up Burberry wearing female penguins going after council flats, do you? :shrug:

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Well, that really takes the biscuit!

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

It begins.....

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Are you suggesting penguins (or people) can be educated to be gay (or not)?!

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Ahem.

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our...

Oh.

Sorry.

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

what goes on 'twix consenting adults (penguin or otherwise) is their own business

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Absolutely - that's why they have to wispa!

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Yeah....that's EXACTLY what I'm trying to say.... :rolleyes:

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Hmmm. Not sure what the sarcasm is meant to imply. Anyways.... there's some homophobia briskly emerging on the George Michael thread if you want to get on down there.

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Why did you automatically bring homophobia in to it? Why did you automatically bring 'people being eductated in to being gay/straight' in to it?

Why not assume there was a level of humour involved which you may have missed?

[double Entendre alert...] :shocked: :p:

Back to penguins...

I can't tell the difference between a male and a female penguin with all my human intellect......why should a penguin be able to with his titchy intellect...?

If the penguin has made his "choice" to be attracted to another male penguin, how do you explain the trying to hatch rocks then?

Believe me they are just stupid and full of testosterone...

Maybe they support Man United?? :p: ;)

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Aha!! It's good to see someone picked out the humour in my first post!!

You lost it at that point :grind: :D

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Could you elucidate on where the humour is?

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Penguins trying to hatch stones.

My (obviously poor) attempt at humour was to suggest that sex education for penguins was so bad that they were not told that eggs are for hatching.

Not stones.

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Fair dos. I understand now and accept I misread your meaning for which I apologise (could you make it a bit more obvious and, well, funny, next time though! :)

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Me....make something funny? Now you're asking....

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

I hear it does happen - occasionaly :)

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Watch it!!!! :D

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

You're too busy trying to hatch that stone to be funny, aren't you ... oh



:D

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

Wont it be a little rock hard to hatch a rock, sure would take the biscuit and in different flavours depending on rock type.

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

There's a whole Galaxy of other penguins out there anyway.

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

You flake ;)

Maybe the males just think that the females are ugly :p:

Anyway, if they were human, the males would be being praised for embracing their feminine sides, and practicising ante-natal techniques - I don't know why peopel are getting so aeroated by this :D

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

People, let's keep this on topic please... :D

Actually, maybe the male penguins think the females are nuns. There is a certain resemblance..

Re: Gay Penguins...
 

All this talk of chocholate just mars the conversation.


Anyway, homosexual behaviour is extremely common within the animal community.
Just look at bonobo chimps, or the giant octopus for examples, oh and human beings too, we're animals after all.
