Gay penguins

People say being gay is unnatural. There’s two male penguins at my local zoo who have been a happy couple for 4 years. They bring each other food, preen each other and go to sleep huddled together. Plenty of females for them to be going at, but it’s not for them.

So I guess those people are wrong. It’s decided.

Being friends does not make you gay. I have a very good friend who is male. I have a very dear friend that is my wife. I am not gay nor is my wife when she gets together with her girl friends.

@hippyjoe1955 These two aren’t just friends. They do the funky penguin sexy dance too.

@Morvoren Do they have sexual intercourse? If not they are not gay. Nice try though.

@hippyjoe1955 and actually now I think of it I’ve seen male horses doing it too when I was on a school trip.

@Morvoren Really you do not understand animals at all. You have a silly agenda.
Morvoren · F
@hippyjoe1955 Yes the two male penguins have sex. Like the two make horse I mentioned.

Where are you going to go from here?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Morvoren No they don't. Nor do horses or bulls or boars or......

@Morvoren Horses mount each other. They do not engage in sex. HUGE difference.

@hippyjoe1955 You’re telling me you know more than the zoo keeper?

You of no credentials, just that it doesn’t fit in your view you wish to force on us all.

@Morvoren I am telling you as someone who grew up on a farm and raised animals like chickens and turkeys and ducks and geese and pigs and sheep and cows and horses and cats and dogs and..... Yeah I don't believe the tales the zookeeper told you. Kind of funny that you fell for it.
Morvoren · F
@hippyjoe1955 Even more you shouldn’t believe lonely old men on the internet who hide behind crosses..

You could have grown in a water park and wouldn’t know how to cannonball just because it’s not written anywhere.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Morvoren And you fall for any tall tale that aligns with your world view. Too funny.

@hippyjoe1955 No I just went out I see animals. I wasn’t expecting two penguins who have built a nesting mound together, bump feathers and listen to Kyle Minogue.

@Morvoren You are trying to normalize gay. It simply doesn't happen among animals. They don't form the same bonds we humans do.
Morvoren · F
@hippyjoe1955 How do you know? Are you family with the behaviour of ever surveys or are you a Wikipedia expert. Or a twat as their more commonly known?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Morvoren I have been around animals my entire life. I have a few more years experience than you when it comes to animal husbandry. A bull has a herd of 30 cows to breed. He doesn't form a lasting bond with them. If she is in estroes he will breed her. A stallion does the same with his mares. A ram does the same with his ewes. Birds have sex when she is ready not a recreation like we humans. The old joke about why cows have long faces explains a lot. Why do cows have long faces? If you got your tits pulled twice a day and got bred once a year you would have a long face too. Sex for animals is very different than the sexual perversions we humans try to push.

@hippyjoe1955 But still less than a zoologist. And that’s just one species you have “experience” with.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Morvoren And you have reason to believe a gay zookeeper why? Here is a hint. Experts are not always honest.
Morvoren · F
@hippyjoe1955 Wait wait wait - gay zookeeper? Why is the zoo keeper gay?

Experts are not always honest.
Neither are people pretending to be experts.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Morvoren You don't think that the zookeeper is incapable of making up a gay story to advance his/her own gay agenda? Seriously?
Morvoren · F
@hippyjoe1955 This is what happened - we went to the penguin enclosure at feeding session. The zookeeper fed each of the penguins giving their name what marking they had to identify them and their history at that zoo. There about 20 penguins.

When she came to the two male penguins she explained they were different and after a few failed attempts to pair up with females these two had courted each other and built a nesting mound together. Penguins mate for life so these two will live together for the rest of their lives.

There was another zookeeper in the enclosure doing some cleaning and taking questions and if she’d says anything wrong he would have known about it.

So there you have it.

@hippyjoe1955 There are hundreds of animals (mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish) and insects who engage in homosexual behavior and bisexual behaviors. There are scientists who have documented and studied such behavior. It's natural for them. It's natural for humans too.
