More Gay Penguins Desperate to Parent

Another blow to the “it’s unnatural” argument against same-sex parents:

Two male penguins at a zoo in China are so desperate to become parents that they are attempting to steal other penguins’ eggs and replace them with stones, reports Britain’s Daily Telegraph. The zookeepers have separated the pair from the rest of the group, but insist, “It’s not discrimination. We have to fence them separately, otherwise the whole group will be disturbed during hatching time.”

Clearly, they need to form a support group with Tango’s dads, Silo and Roy.
