You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade has finally said OK to Gays and Lesbians.
That’s right. Now you can fly your banner proudly as a gay man or woman as you strut down 5th avenue in the nation’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade.
The announcement was made in light of growing pressure by parade organizers who saw Guiness Beer pull out as a sponsor and the NYC mayor refuse to participate.
I’m glad the St. Patrick’s Day parade people have sorted this all out.
It really makes me wonder what all the fuss was about.
Fly a flag, be gay, walk till your toes ache.
Whatever!
People love to complain.
A few years ago people were all up in arms about gay penguins.
Yes, you heard me right. Gay Penguins.
I don’t know how gay these penguins really were.
I don’t know if these penguins made white tigers jump through hoops of fire or if they ever sang “Candle in the Wind”.
I don’t know if these penguins were gay enough to own every Barbara Streisand record.
But apparently the little birds were having some kind of same sex relationship and it ruffled the tail feathers of zoo keepers north of the border.
The question is; when did don’t ask don’t tell become a requirement for a zoo?
Was it ever a question to ask a Penguin?
When did we start caring whether boy penguins were hanging with boy penguins?
Crazy Canadians. You know how they love their beer and hate their polar creatures to be affectionately misdirected.
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 care 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.
According to the reports into the Crazy News Desk, zoo keepers were encouraging the boy penguins to date the girl penguins.
As much as they may have disliked this idea, it made life at the Tornonto Zoo less complicated.
So Pedro and Buddy took one for the team, dated girl penguins they don’t like, and now the zoo keeping police are staying off their water resistant backs.
Then and only then can birds of a feather flock together.
