Six gay male penguins at a zoo in Germany have been rejecting advances of females sent to mate with them. Gay rights groups were apparently upset when the females were introduced, but the zoo claims they are simply trying to form at least one fertile couple and a baby, not to pry the male penguins from their partnerships.
Regardless, I continue to laugh at the conservative groups claiming that penguins, as exemplified in March of the Penguins, are an example of traditional family values. Still, March of the Penguins is a great film, despite its accolades from the right. Stunning photography, and birds that are both regal and adorable. Suitable for children old enough to handle a few scenes of (not too gory) animal death.
