You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™Gay Penguins.
I’m not talking Sigfried and Roy gay. I don’t know if these penguins made white tigers jump through hoops of fire. I’m not sure they ever sang “Candle in the Wind”. I don’t know if they like Barbara Streisand or Broadway dinner theater.But apparently the little birds are having a same sex relationship and it is all the consternation of intolerant zoo keepers north of the border.
The question is; when did don’t ask don’t tell become a requirement for a zoo?
When did we start caring whether boy penguins were hanging with boy penguins?
DATELINE: Canada
Apparently two male penguins at the Toronto Zoo share more in common than tuxedos and fondness for anchovies.
The little birds love each other, which normally wouldn’t be a thing, except it has become a thing because zoo keepers want the male penguins to mate with the female penguins. It’s easier to have baby penguins that way, don’t ya know.
But when when your swish doesn’t swish that way, mating is out of the question. It’s like a ying and yang that is really a ying and ying, if you know what i mean? Not that there’s anything wrong with a ying and ying, mind ya.
According to published reports, Pedro and Buddy are a little light in the flippers and have formed a close bond since their arrival at Toronto Zoo in May. They are part of a breeding program that’s as problem free as Velcro underpants .
“The two girls (penguins) have been following them, we just have to get the boys interested in looking at them,” Tom Mason, curator of birds and invertebrates at the zoo, said.
Mason said that if the penguins were not an endangered species the zoo would be happy to “let them do their thing.”
But since they are suppose to do their thing, and they are not doing their thing, the zoo is getting all penguin-phobic and forcing them to go to the prom with a blind date that neither bird seems willing to accept.
So Pedro and Buddy may have to take one for the team to get the zoo keeping police off their water resistant backs.Then and only then can birds of a feather flock together.
