Penguins appear to have a tendency towards homosexuality. That is not unusual in the animal world, but penguins appear to have a proclivity more so than some other animals.
Buddy and Pedro are two male penguins at the Toronto Zoo that prefer each other over other penguins. Unfortunately for Buddy and Pedro, they are African penguins. This type of penguin is endangered, and their genes are wanted for mating with females, not for frolicking around for their own pleasure. Presumably, the two penguins will take on their new heterosexual duty, but is it really doing a service to this species to make the penguins pair up with females instead of one another?
It sounds a lot like anti-gay groups that deprogram homosexuality out of gays and lesbians. Of course, something as deeply ingrained as sexual preference is never deprogrammed. It is only repressed. It would be interesting to see if the same is true for Buddy and Pedro. In the meantime, their love affair must end because humans supposedly know better.
