China’s ‘Gay’ Penguins Adopt

What a great story! I love this. As for being a “waste of space”, I think that might be you JSTATE83. It is obvious you have an issue with gays or you wouldn’t have bolded the word the way you did as if to use it as an insult.
Your comment speaks for itself.

This is so GAY!

The Arkansas Family Council hereby lodges a protest. The gold standard for penguin rearing lies with opposite penguin parenting.

Penguins, and any birds for that matter, do not “give birth”. Mammals give birth. Birds lay and hatch eggs. The fact that the female hatched twins is not unusual, it happens often in the wild. However, it is more common to have only one chick survive out of the pair as food resources are scarce.

areyoukidding – god obviously made a mistake here. I’m so sorry you made those choices.

areyoukidding- are you kidding?
the gays brainwashed the media? you and your patriarchal “tradition” and bigotry have been the brainwashers.
this has been shoved down your throat? you and your pretentious “my-religion-is-the-best” attitude has been shoved down basically EVERYONE’s throat. your ideas cause gays to be times more likely to be bullied at school and cause 3 times as many suicides among LGBTQ and especially among teenagers.
nature? homosexuality is found in over 450 species on this planet, but homophobia is found only in one. Homo sapiens. that’s if you don’t know basic biological classification. which one’s unnatural now? and if your GOD is so perfect, then i guess he’s made over 450 mistakes, and if homosexuality is man made, then i guess humans just corrupted 450 species of animals into being gay.
no one is born gay? being gay is not a choice, as much as you’d like to believe. in this climate filled with bigots like you that don’t even think gays are human, or deserve the right to marry, who would choose to be gay? would you? no. i didn’t think so. in addition, relating stupidity with sexual identity is messed up.

AreYouKidding
I’ve noticed that the people most opposed to lgb etc lives frequently run into trouble because they’ve indulged themselves in the behavior. Penn State, the Catholic Church, that pastor from Colorado Springs…..

methinks he doth protesteth too much

“Boy, the gays are really trying their hardest to have their lifestyle accepted and they have brain washed the media. Don’t worry it will be accepted only because it is forced down our throats but in the end it still goes against the rules of nature” ~~~~~~~~ Substitute the N-word in place of the word ‘gays’ and this could have come from the mouth of a racist back when schools were being integrated. I heard many just like it while we were in Little Rock walking the Nine into their new school. One would hope that people like yourself would not HAVE to have ideas of equality and social justice “forced down your throats” before you’d accept them.

AREYOUKIDDING made me laugh. It’s so cute that people still think that way. And the brainwashing bit followed by “God doesn’t make mistakes”, oh the irony.

Great story! As for the commenting christian wack jobs, there is no god and nobody likes you.

@areyoukidding- Very well stated! I agree with you 100% and those of you who don’t, it just shows how intolerant you all are. Areyoukidding isn’t trying to force his view on anyone. He’s just stating the truth of the matter.
It’s just so sad to see this in the news. It’s teaching kids, “Even animals are gay, so it’s okay for me to be.” No, it’s not. It’s a lifestyle of sin. Btw, I DO NOT hate gays; I hate their sin and the fact that they tell others it’s okay to be like this.

@ Jeff- Wow! Really? Maybe you should think before you write. And, there is a God. Just because you can’t see Someone doesn’t mean He’s not there. And, just because you don’t believe in Him, doesn’t make Him not real either.

I love how gay rights’ activists tell Christians to be tolerant and kind. The irony is you all who hate Christians and immediately bat down what we say are being intolerant of what we say. We are not intolerant of these people; we’re intolerant of their sin. Christians have free speech just like everyone else. You expect us to not make “hurtful” statements against gays. Well, calling Christians wack jobs is hurtful to us.

This is ridicolus, I’m not gay but I support them 100%. If the bible was written by man and man is flawed doesn’t that mean the book is obviously going to be flawed. I’m sick and tired of religion dominating people’s rights. If a gay penguin wants to live , let them be because what they are actually demonstrating to the world is that you can be yourself. I wonder about the people who never even heard the word of Christ like the tribes in the amazon river , is that a sin too that they don’t know… Maybe you guys should question the bible cause from history tells us there have been wars on religion and for what cause the flying spaghetti monster said this was my land. Grow up and learn about how you are being manipulated.

Can’t we just all be happy that the two hatchings will survive? Poor mom hatched twins, that’s too much for her. There’s a couple willing to take in her baby who will feed it and keep it warm and safe. Isn’t that all that matters? Who cares that the new parents are both male. I think it’s sweet.

@M&M, @areyoukidding: God doesn’t exist though, so… awkward.

Does everyone realize this is about PENGUINS? Not human beings but animals…I don’t think we can label animals with human characteristics because they AREN’T human. So fighting over whether a pair of animals that are the same sex seems a little out there. There’s enough hate in the world between human beings. Let’s stop fighting about whether 2 male penguins can raise a baby chick and get back to trying to love each other as individuals!!

@ I_Eat_M&Ms- So do I! I love the dark chococlate ones the best. Also, I presume you don’t believe the Bible, so I don’t think you can use It to back up your view. Besides, the Bible tells us in the same passage that after we get the plank out, we ARE to judge others and tell them they are doing wrong.

@ Fabianp- I don’t know what country you’re living in, but in America, religion DOES NOT dominate human rights. In fact, Christians are discriminated against often. We are ALLOWED to state our views but often times are forced to stop because we might discriminate against others! Its not fair for gays to be allowed to state their views, but then require Christians to shut up because our views don’t correlate with the gays. Last time I checked we have freedom of speech, but more and more the gov’t seems to be taking that away from mainly Christian groups.
@ Jacey- I get what you’re saying, but when God created the animals, he created a male one and a female one to continue to reproduce. Genesis 6:19 says, “And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.” This was when God was going to destroy the world with a worldwide Flood. God commaned that a MALE and FEMALE each be brought. (And that includes a MALE penguin and a FEMALE penguin.) He designed heterosexual relationships. The people at the zoo have no proof that the penguins are even gay. Just because two of the same sex are raising a baby doesn’t automatically make them gay. I guess guys can’t have close guy friends and girls can’t have close girl friends without being considered ‘gay.’
@ Susan Perry- Well said! :)

Once again, I DO NOT HATE GAYS! But, I do not like the lifestyles they have chosen to live.
