I'm pro gay-rights, but isn't all this a little biased?

Endangered penguins held in captivity with a shortage of females... are supposed to prove that homosexuality is a natural choice? Maybe it is, but i'm still not buying this article's arguments for that case. You can use the article as an example of how same sex pairings can make good parents, but there is already plenty of evidence of that.

 

LOL @ gay rights activists being outraged and stopping moves to add more female penguins,

Are they afraid that when given more options, the penguins would become heterosexual? Lock a bunch of men(or women) up together and they might have "relations" too.

And how about if gay human couples started trying to steal babies from hetero couples but ingeniously replaced them with cabbage patch dolls? LOL.

The article also claims that male penguins successfully reproduced? I doubt that's the case or even "naturally" possible, BUT, I don't doubt two male penguins are quite capable of raising a young.

Bottom line: I wouldn't take the young away, it's certainly no more unnatural than keeping them in a zoo and probably what is best for the young...

Over 1,500 species (at least) have homosexuality, and yes, most of that is not in captivity. And opposite sex mates are available.

If they are naturally homosexual, why throw a fit about adding more female penguins? It doesn't really advance the point,

They are naturally homosexual, and they are throwing a fit because (in their opinions) it is like trying to repress their sexuality.  This is not the case, but thats what they think.

Because that particular penguin is endangered, so they can reproduce, let em' have at it!

The more important point is that homosexuality IS 'natural' in so far as it's not a choice influenced by molestation and a liberal society. The prevalence in the animal kingdom is plenty proof of that.
