Gay Penguin Couple Forced To Go Straight

Zookeepers say the birds, “do courtship and mating behaviors that females and males would do,” and “seem to be in a loving relationship of some sort,” yet soon they’ll be paired off with females. Buddy and Pedro are being torn apart because their species is endangered, not because zoo officials are intolerant of same-sex love, but it’s still a tragic end to their affair.
