Popular Science has a take on it as well: http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2009-04/gay-elephant-just-tip-iceberg?page=

I heard about this story last night while listening to Radio Netherlands and thought it was funny.

A conservative politician complaining about someone/thing being gay? Nothing to see here. Poor elephant already has two strikes against him, he's African and he's gay. If the councilor finds out that he's Jewish too, it's over. They'll euthanize him.

even if there was a condom big enough he would just be spreading aids . . . according to the pope.

“We didn't pay 37 million zlotys ($11 million) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there,” Grzes was quoted as saying by Reuters. Grzes went on to say that while he readily admits that Ninio's flair for interior decorating has "worked miracles" with the elephant house, there were much weightier issues that needed to be addressed with regards to Ninio continuing to live there."

Actually, that last part I made up. :D

Ninio is not only uninterested in the female elephants, called cows...

Maybe he just doesn't dig fat chicks. Is that supposed to convince me he's gay?

...but actually “has had to change zoos three times in the past five years because of his aggressive behaviour toward female elephants,” according to The Daily Mail. The most alarming of these incidents occurred last June, when Ninio is believed to have bribed one of the zookeepers to look the other way while he assaulted one of the cows in elephant house shower.

Alright...I did it again. :D :D

Ninio is only one of many zoo animals that have shown homosexual behavior in recent years, penguins being the most common and most discussed.

You know, I always felt that there was sumthin' not quite right about penguins...I guess this solves the mystery.

P.S. What I wouldn't give for a picture Opus from the "Penguin Lust" story arc from Bloom County right about now. :)

A penguin couple at a zoo called Polar Land in Harbin, northern China, made headlines in December 2008 when they were sequestered from the other penguins by a picket fence. The couple had been taking eggs from heterosexual penguin couples and replacing them with stones.

I guess we all now know what the gay agenda for penguins is.

The zookeepers explained that the penguins were removed not because of discrimination but “so as not to disturb the colony during hatching time,”

Oh great, here we go *AGAIN* with the whole indefensible bullshit “so-as-not-to-disturb-the-colony-during-hatching-time,” song and dance. Does anyone even buy that anymore? This is nothing more or less than another example of brazen bigotry and homophobia against flightless Arctic waterfowl perpetrated by part of narrow-minded apartment landlords who simply can't bear the thought of having a pair fag penguins living together in sin.

Silo and Roy, a well-known gay penguin couple at New York City’s Central Park Zoo...

Not to be confused with well-known non-penguin gay couple Sigfreid and Roy, who are reported to be scouting condos in Chelsea, over on the West Side.

...also attempted to “incubate a rock” before being given their own egg, which they “successfully hatched and raised,” according to FOX News, which reported on the pair’s breakup in 2005 following a protracted series of what their neighbors described as "major hissy-fits."

I can't help myself...sombody STOP ME!! :D :D :D

After their successful go at parenting, Silo took up with a female penguin, leaving Roy to sit “disconsolately at the edge of the penguin area, staring at the wall.”

It's always sad to see a gay penguin go into denial rather than be true to himself. Especially when it comes to hurting those they love.
