It what sounds like a publicity stunt, the Polarland Zoo in China wed their two gay penguins to honor their superb parenting skills of an abandoned egg. The two gay penguins were reported a few months back because they continued to steal eggs from their heterosexual counterparts to nest. Seeing this, the keepers decided to give the gay penguin couple a serrogate egg that had been rejected by a mother. Watching the couple, keepers found that the two were superb parents, exceeding many of the heterosexual penguins’ skills. To reward their efforts, the keepers decided to wed the gay penguin couple in a traditional Chinese wedding. The keepers decided which penguin would dress like a groom and which would dress more like a bride, so they haven’t quite come to terms to with same-sex marriage. On the other hand, one can only imagine what proponents of Prop 8 may do with a story like this. Envision it now, “If you let same-sex marriages be recognized by the state, what’s next penguin marriage?” Come on… you know they are capable of it!

Oh yeah, I’m sure the Yes on Prop 8ers are already trying to have that marriage annuled and the baby penguin ripped from his gay parents arms (or whatever penguins have) and put with 2 penguins that is proven will not take as good of care of him. They will spend millions of dollars to have this done. They will not stand for the equality of all penguins. Just imagine what all the other baby penguins are thinking at this time, they are soooo confused. This will do much damage to psyche. Whew…what the hell was China thinking. Stop the madness now!

My Grandma has said for my entire life that China is our enemy, and now I finally see why.
