Gay Penguins Have Families

Written by Bryce

It’s true.  You read that right.  Gay penguins adopt little penguin eggs, hatch them, and then raise the offspring to appreciate things like glitter and construction sites.  How do we Luxury Spotters know this?  The zoo in Germany where it all happened kindly alerted the media.  So here’s the scoop.

A few years back, German zoo officials in Bremerhaven tried to cure their gay penguin population of their penis-loving ways by introducing some sexy female penguin porn stars.  The male penguins were reported to have limited interest in the ladybirds, and most certainly would NOT mate with them (they were caught experimenting with their breasts though).  Recently, gay penguin couple Z and Vielpunkt were given the opportunity to raise a family.  The two men were given an orphaned egg, and immediately took to nurturing it as their own.  They tended to the egg till it hatched, and are now raising the offspring happily.

“Since the chick arrived they are behaving in the same way as one would expect a heterosexual couple to do. Both happy fathers are now diligently handling the everyday care … of their adopted offspring,” the zoo said.

The zoo also reports that three pairs of gay male penguins have been seen attempting to mate with each other and trying to hatch offspring from rocks.

“Homosexuality is nothing unusual among animals,” the zoo said. “Sex and coupling up in our world do not necessarily have anything to do with reproduction.”

I’ve learned a lot from these penguins.  I think maybe it’s time I should forget about men and just find a woman to mate and raise a family with.  Steph, I’m ready to move beyond our “casual open relationship” status on facebook, and actually make you the woman you deserve to be, my baby’s daddy.
