Gay Penguin Update - They've Gone Straight!

I try to bring you all the news you need to know (even if you didn't know you needed to know it). Here's an update on the February gay penguin post:

Even though the mainstream media have ignored this news, I am compelled to report it here, to you, today:

Roy and Silo, the two famous gay penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo, are no longer a pair. Silo has gone straight.

They broke up after six years together. Once, they were provided a donated egg. They sat on it and hatched it and this was celebrated as some kind of penguin lifestyle choice in the New York Times on Feb. 7, 2004, under the headline "The Love that Dare Not Squeak Its Name."

But that's so over.

These days, Silo has a girlfriend. And Roy? Well, lately he has been observed hanging around a few sexually immature penguins, but he has no real prospects. It seems Roy is a troubled penguin.

[...]

Were they really called gay penguins?"

A newspaper somewhere came up with it. The media called them gay penguins. We referred to them as a same-sex couple. But they're no longer together. They split up, although there are a few other same-sex groupings," he said.

This must be very disappointing for the media, and for the gay rights advocates. And too bad this came out after the Roberts hearings ended...I'm sure the Senate Dems would have wanted to ask Judge Roberts about this.
