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.

I guess not natural as in not of use in continuation of a species through procreation.

Being Acceptable doesn't make it natural. I think that's what they are meaning.

@SW-User Natural though because it occurs in nature in over 1000 species. I would say that 'occurs commonly in nature' is a pretty good working definition of 'natural.'

@ElwoodBlues I was just trying to answer the question on why people might think that it's not natural.

Not trying to answer what I think.
