Another gem from First Things (May 2005):
According to Reuters (February 11, 2005), gay and lesbian organizations are in an uproar. It seems tha tmale penguins in the zoo of Bremerhaven, Germany, have been attempting to mate with one another and to hatch offspring out of stones. the zoo has imported some female penguins from Scandanavia.
In response to protests, the zoo’s director, Heike Kueck, says, “Nobody here is trying to break up same-sex pairs by force. We don’t know if the males are really gay or just got together because of a lack of females.”
The protestors are not appeased. Giving the penguins a choice would deprive them of the choice of being gay.
And who knows whether, given time enough, the stones might hatch?
