They are everywhere - Joker99352, on 07/13/2009, -0/+68I smell a reality show.
- jerryjamesstone, on 07/13/2009, -3/+67These are SF Zoo penguins, I am guess they are just in an open relationship.
- AmyVernon, on 07/13/2009, -0/+60Oh, come on. Just because they're gay and they're penguins, you can't tell them apart? Homophobe.
- meruru, on 07/13/2009, -1/+52Homewrecker!
- ehaugan, on 07/14/2009, -1/+48The penguins live in San Francisco DUH!
- Dochirin, on 07/14/2009, -6/+44So, they weren't "gay" at all but actually hooked together because of their captivity condition. Pretty much like "jail cell lovers".
- jerryjamesstone, on 07/13/2009, -3/+37I speak English good.
- Coven, on 07/13/2009, -0/+31Don't give them any ideas. TLC would jump all over that *****.
- Swin3flew, on 07/14/2009, -2/+32BROS BEFORE HOES!
- Tabascork, on 07/13/2009, -0/+26Is this the same couple from the last gay penguin article?
- ronh, on 07/14/2009, -3/+21They didn't. They consider the fact that they roosted/nested together as traits of homosexuality.
- serif69, on 07/14/2009, -3/+21Thank you for your inordinately serious and detailed reply.
- cquilliam, on 07/14/2009, -0/+17When i saw this title in my RSS feed I thought "Man, winning the cup really does bring these guys together"

- roostersheep, on 07/14/2009, -0/+16haha not a chance !
- warp99, on 07/13/2009, -2/+18So male penguins can get pussy whipped?
- Lucas123, on 07/14/2009, -3/+18How exactly did these San Francisco zoo keepers determine these animals were gay?
- andyb747, on 07/14/2009, -0/+14My dog has humped my sofa on numerous occasions. I am concerned I bought a gay sofa.
- cygnus2112, on 07/14/2009, -1/+15Uh oh.. better kick out your roommate. Zookeepers will assume you're gay.
- DavidCEisen, on 07/14/2009, -0/+13In Iran there are no gay penguins.
- godzilla8nj, on 07/14/2009, -2/+14teh butseks?
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -0/+12were these penguins in a sexual relationship, or did they just live together?
- armo, on 07/14/2009, -1/+13"Male big horn sheep live in what are often called “homosexual societies.” They bond through genital licking and anal intercourse, which often ends in ejaculation. If a male sheep chooses to not have gay sex, it becomes a social outcast. Ironically, scientists call such straight-laced males “effeminate.”
Giraffes have all-male orgies. So do bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, gray whales, and West Indian manatees. Japanese macaques, on the other hand, are ardent lesbians; the females enthusiastically mount each other. Bonobos, one of our closest primate relatives, are similar, except that their lesbian sexual encounters occur every two hours. Male bonobos engage in “penis fencing,” which leads, surprisingly enough, to ejaculation. They also give each other genital massages.
As this list of activities suggests, having homosexual sex is the biological equivalent of apple pie: Everybody likes it. At last count, over 450 different vertebrate species could be beheaded in Saudi Arabia. "

Apparently one of the male penguins was Anne Heche. - Sideshowslob, on 07/14/2009, -0/+11I need to see a source when you say a broad ranging statement like:
"According to some zoologists, there is no species in which it has not been seen." - 07dcolem, on 07/14/2009, -0/+11Even the penguins are gay in San Francisco.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -0/+11Gayguins.
- Sideshowslob, on 07/14/2009, -1/+11Next up on Jerry Springer:
Are you my penguin's baby's daddy? - inactive, on 07/14/2009, -3/+13Gay penguins?
- Sideshowslob, on 07/14/2009, -0/+10Creepy.
- michaelpinto, on 07/13/2009, -1/+10"molting season in late summer tends to reshuffle couples" ummm that's a bit more information than I wanted to know...
- zip000, on 07/14/2009, -1/+10@andyb747 ...homosexual sex doesn't just mean anal sex. I know it a wikipedia link will be criticized but here it is anyway:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_i ...
If you are looking at being a homosexual as forming a relationship in which one partner takes a male role and the other takes a female role - that happens. It's a fact.
If you are looking at being a homosexual as animals of the same sex having intercourse - that happens. It's a fact. Some even have anal sex, though I don't think that has anything to do with it. - BasalCellBossk, on 07/14/2009, -5/+14I think it might have been the ***** each other which tipped them off.
- awinters, on 07/14/2009, -0/+9So maybe they weren't gay, but in college and just experimenting.
- cJw314, on 07/14/2009, -2/+11So, merely sensationalism?
- CounterpartJack, on 07/14/2009, -0/+9Roomates in SF, raising a chick, is evidence enough.
- T8erT0T, on 07/14/2009, -0/+8"Yo I thought we were gay, what the hell?"
"Nah, we were just broin' out--I was in a slump. We're still bros though, we'll hang out all the time still."
"Are you talking to Jeff again on the phone?!"
"Uhm, look man, I gotta go, Cindy's here and we're going to restaurant week. Peace." - Prayformojo777, on 07/14/2009, -1/+9Being gay isn't evil; being bigoted and hateful, however, is.
- PowderedToasty, on 07/14/2009, -1/+9Andy, keep thinking that having your guy friend jerk you off doesn't make you gay.
- fefu, on 07/14/2009, -0/+8My husband spent some time in Antarctica launching a balloon satellite with a research crew. A penguin like this came up and hung out with them for a while. He was far far away from anyplace where a penguin should be. They just assumed he was old and was going away to die or something. Sad, but it was a fascinating experience for the crew. They kept their distance and didn't disturb him, but they got some nice pictures.
- frontaxle, on 07/14/2009, -5/+13Some bird looks FABULOUS
- AegisC, on 07/14/2009, -0/+8My friend had two male dogs (no real contact with females). One dog would "hump" the other in the back yard and the other dog would do nothing about it. I would laugh at him because he had gay dogs. So was this situation (a) actual ingrained-from-birth homosexuality? (b) sort of a prison situation where you only have contact with one gender so you sexually express it that way (in this case it would make it rape...I'm not sure the other dog wanted it)? (c) sort of a frat boy situation where guys pretend to be gay as a joke sometimes and dry-hump each other but aren't really gay? or (d) anthropomorphizing way too much and not realizing that these are animals, and although humans are as well, we have a few more things that are a bit different about us when you compare us to animals opposed to comparing animals to other animals. What was all that about them being the "best parents?" Is their chick doing the best in penguin school? Do they buy their chick the most penguin toys and teach their chick the best penguin values? What is the leading theory on penguin chick parenting that is used to determine who is the best penguin parent?
- BasalCellBossk, on 07/14/2009, -3/+11So are we.
- BasalCellBossk, on 07/14/2009, -6/+13Same behaviour has been seen in the wild.
In thousands of species, apparently. - StutterMilk, on 07/14/2009, -0/+7The fact that they always wear tuxedos perpetuates the "better dressed" stereotype.
- zip000, on 07/14/2009, -12/+19Yes, gay penguins. Penguins - and many other animals - form same sex relationships in which one partner takes on the male role and the other takes on the female role. I do not know whether those roles become permanent - i.e. is Penguin A always the male role in every situation permanently and Penguin B is always the female role, or do they switch or do they each do some male things and some female things, etc.
This has been seen often in penguins where if there are two males and an egg gets abandoned, the two males will adopt the egg and take care of it. But other species - I know of dolphins and chimps specifically - also have homosexual relationships and sex.
It really isn't that unusual apparently. A lot of conservative types decry the information, but I don't really see their logic. If they reject the body and see it as sinful anyway, then why not accept that nature is the same as the body and equally "sinful". - Sanderson9009, on 07/14/2009, -2/+9I love how this gay penguin thing happens in San Francisco
- Sideshowslob, on 07/14/2009, -0/+7I don't think creationist zoologists would acknowledge animals engaging in homosexuality.
