Penguins at
German zoo stay gay

For the second straight year, a German zoo has tried to seduce its gay male penguins with female penguins from Sweden. And for the second straight year, the march of these penguins was a pride parade. Last year the females were brought in too late for pairing. This year the ladies were there in time but, according to zoo officials, were too shy. Zoo spokesman Heike Kueck told the German Press Agency DPA, "The Swedes are rather standoffish." Once again, four males and the zoo's four local females paired up. And the rest of the zoo's 22 penguins formed their own male-male couples. Kueck says that's normal penguin behavior when females are in short supply. (Sirius OutQ News)
