Now penguins have more rights than gays

(Via Challenging the Commonplace)

This is something of a news story.

People protested in China after zookeepers separated two (apparently) gay male penguins from the rest after they continually attempted to steal eggs from other penguins. The zookeepers caved and gave the couple a pair of eggs from an inexperienced female.

At first this is a very cute kind of story – everyone loves penguins.

But there’s a couple more things here: homosexuality exists in nature (this isn’t news, but many anti-gay advocates don’t realize this yet), and these penguins were just granted more rights than gay couples in many states in the US.

It’s key to note this bit:

One campaigner who did not want to be named welcomed the move and said: ‘It wasn’t fair to stop them becoming parents and keep them apart from all the other birds just because of the way nature has made them.’ [emphasis added]

Even if you believe in a god, you can still respect the feelings in these animals.

    Well you see, a penguin lacks the mental capabilities to make the rational choice to be a homosexual. Do we punish chickens for shitting in their cage?

    Survival of the fittest. Nature tell the animals to breed, and what do they do? Instead of furthering their bloodlines, they discount millions of years of evolution and stick it in the pooper. Evolution has weeded out the gays. Their inferior bloodlines end with them.
