Penguins often pair up with a penguin of the same sex, with many of those turning out to be great parents for baby chicks, so much so that a zoo opted to display a pride-themed banner for their penguins.
But a Catholic journalist is outraged because people are telling children that the penguins arent all straight.
In honor of Pride Month, the London Zoo placed a miniature banner in the style of others designed by the Stonewall UK charity. It read Some Penguins Are Gay. Get Over it.

The banner was also in honor of a pair of penguins housed at the zoo, Ronnie and Reggie, who became a pair in 2014. They became known for adopting an abandoned egg. They later shared parenting duties after their chick, Kyton, was born the following year.

(57,080 posts)and was I ever surprised to the depth of the rend over Ravelry! My RW MiL is a master knitter and yet I thought she'd kept her politics out of her circle pretty well.
Did not know there was such Trump undercurrent eddying.

Immediately after the ban was announced, I saw lots of angry conservatives screeching about their freedom of speech being taken away (on a free website owned by private citizens). I hope they all ran away and never plan to return.

Imagine that conversation.
I think I'd rather explain about gay penguins.
