No “nail in the crowd” at all, ‘dro. Anne just likes to butter her bread on both sides (or tack her carpet at both ends, if you will).

I would have thought you, of all people, would be sympathetic to bisexuality.

It's a form of therapy. The right wingnutts can bond with the bigots (arguably redundancy) to channel their despair at gays - in this case, "gay penguins". Oh boy, this is good.

There are many other examples of this from different animal species. I dont see why humans are all that different in this regard.

I think its a good example of gay parenting being perfectly natural. There are many other examples of this from different animal species. I dont see why humans are all that different in this regard.

As for normal, desirable, better etc, I agree that its a poor example.

If the object was to show that gay parenting is normal/natural/desirable et. al. then the example chosen is laughable. Its not very strong. By the same token we could also deduce that the road to successful gay parenting in humans would be to put gay human parents behind cages where they could raise their (designated) offspring with help from the State (Zoo Keepers). #48 Hugh,

I think the article only serves, as I originally pointed out, that same sex parenting is not 'unnatural', as homophobes and narrow minded god botherers often insist it is. As same sex parenting causes no harm to others and is in all likelihood not inferior to straight couple parenting, I fail to see the controversy as anything else than uninformed bigotry. #46 radad

Many species practice what for humans would be murder, rape, theft, incest, etc. Are these actions now to be good examples for humans because they are natural? Are we to believe homosexual people make the best parents because a pair of homosexual penguins were judged by some people to be superior? I don’t quite understand the point of the article.
