The traitorous penguin
"Gayness is in my genes" advocates suddenly discover that their animals-are-born-gay-too arguments may backfire: "Silo and Roy looked so happy together. The two male chinstrap penguins had found each other in the big city. They had remained faithful. They had even raised a child. But then, not too long ago, they lost their home. Silo's eye began to wander, and last spring he forsook his partner of six years at the Central Park Zoo and took up with a female from California named Scrappy."
The New York Times continued: "Of late, Roy has been seen alone, in a corner, staring at a wall. This tale of betrayal, sexual identity and penguin lust set in Manhattan has reverberated around the world. It has "rocked the gay scene," as the popular blogger
Andrew Sullivan, who is gay, wrote in
The Sunday Times of London."
Well, only if your logic sucked in the first place. Like these idjits, whose logic goes all wonky in the other direction: "The surprise hit of the summer was
'March of the
Penguins,' in part because it was embraced by Christians and conservatives, who see in the film pro-family and Christian imagery....
"But no one should be surprised at Silo and Roy parting ways, said Frans de Waal, who has studied the mutable sexuality of bonobo apes and is the director of the
Living Links Center at Emory University in Atlanta. 'Exclusive homosexuality is not very common in nature,' he said."
So there.
