Homosexuality is more common in species that live communally so it only make sense that the biological purpose to having genes causing homosexual individuals in a group is to create extra parents. These extra parents either help to raise their nieces or nephews of younger siblings, or they step in as surrogate parents when infants are rejected or lose their own parents. All the more reason for me to smile about being a gay man with a soon-to-be-born son. I am fulfilling my biological purpose.

No doubt they were "thought" homosexuality at penguin school (the clump of snow at the far rock to the left of the breeding colony), as we all know that queer penguins have no choice but to recruit the youngest eggs into their "homosexual penguin agenda". No doubt they hang around the hatchery, looking for young eggs to take away, or molest, as all gay penguins are obviously paedophiles.

Were they overly sensitive, creative and artistic, or did they display other gender atypical behaviour? Did they show an aversion to normal rough and tumble play with other male penguins?

We need to get at the root of what led them to choose this unnatural lifestyle. Was it failure to bond properly with their same-sex parents in earlier years? Perhaps if they can be taught to form healthy, non-erotic, same-sex friendships with heterosexual penguins that will make good the deficit and free them to move into heterosexuality.

And no doubt it will be followed up by an "unbiased" report from NARTH on how the mortality rates among gay penguin is higher than god loving penguins... based on "scientific" feedback from the sea lions, of course. The conclusion will probably be that the reason Antarctica is so cold is because the penguins are gay and god was unhappy with them, so froze the continent.

Do they know they're going to hell? Do you think they want to be "ex-gay"? Does god love the penguin, but not the sin? If we all "chose" to be gay, then logically, so did the penguins, according to all these religious nuts we are blessed with on this site. Hank and Skinner, perhaps you can enlighten us as to the state of their immortal souls given their "choice" to sin.

Discussions about having children when my boyfriend and I got together quickly foundered when we realised we hated sleepless nights. I hope the chick will not be bullied on the nursery ice-floe.
