i honeslty don't see the point in the ceremony, sure we might like to get married as humans but would the penguins truly appreciate it? i agree with letting them be parents of discarded eggs and rewarding them with their favourite fish but dressing them up could feel more like a punishment to them.

also who's to say they're gay? they might just be friends who both want kids, i know of plenty of guys who have male friends help them bring their kids up.

You'd have to read the original articles. I posted them somewhere around here. The penguins basically fell in love. They wouldn't have anything to do with the female penguins, and set up a nest together. They attempted over and over to steal eggs from female birds, before they were given their own egg from a new and inexperienced mother. They even placed rocks in the nests after they stole the eggs, so that the parents would be fooled.

Isn't it? but they didn't have any other way to explain what they wanted. it was the only thing they could do. They can't speak.

Same sex partnership is quite common in the bird word. 30 of swan couples are same sex, and they will steal egg, or one will mate with a female and when she has laid they will make off with the eggs.

Also stop comparing human 'morals' to animal behaviour. That is what is known as humanisation.

They steal the eggs but the eggs still get nurtured. In other cases they would more likely destroy the offspring.

How cute.

Maybe someday when humans are highly evolved they'll learn that this kind of thing may not be as "evil" and "unnatural" as they think. But for now............

May they live happily ever after. :cry:

Nothing, but it was my understanding that the majority of black people are strongly against gay marriage.
