Well, of course. That's why I'm gay. When I first wanted sex, my town was fresh out of women.

This story is not new. It was reported in the mainstream press, among other times, in 2002.

Actually - it is a new story. The other story referenced in the post was from February of this year - another gay penguin story.

Agreed. What I was getting at is that this is not the first ever instance of gay penguins on this planet.
