THE animal kingdom's most famous gay couple has split up. Silo and Roy, the cohabiting penguins of Central Park Zoo, are no longer an item.

The pair rose to prominence six years ago when they came out with their same-sex relationship.
Since then, they have successfully hatched and raised an adoptive chick (after an uncertain start that involved trying to incubate a rock).

They blazed a trail for six other gay penguin couples at the zoo.

But the affair ended when Scrappy, a new female penguin, moved into the neighbourhood and caught Silo's eye.

"Silo and Roy stopped spending as much time together or building a nest," John Rowden, the zoo's head curator, told The New York Post.

Silo promptly moved in with Scrappy, building a new nest with her.

Zookeepers are at a loss to explain Silo's sudden conversion.

If it were a choice, I'd be gay. I'd get laid all the time that way. Men are easy.
Silo's probably just Bi. And sick of Roy's constant bitching.

*disappointment*

see, there was me thinking we finally had some news on Gay Penguin, the american presidential candidate back in the good ol days..

Gay Penguin for President! (http://www.gaypenguinforamerica.com)

That, that, that, that penguin WHORE!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

He was just USING Roy to advance his career like Reichen used Chip in The Amazing Race. Like Tom Cruise used Mimi Rodgers, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Katie Holmes.

Er, not that Tom Cruise is gay or anything, just that he doesn't have a lot of respect for women. I would just like to point out to Tom Cruise's army of lawyers, one of whom I am sure is reading this board, that I am not in any way implying that Tom Cruise is gay. Or a penguin. Just a misogynist.

Tom Cruise is either asexual or impudent. I mean, he “tried” to have kids with two women and ending up adopting. That’s why he wants to marry the supposed virgin Katie Holmes. She won’t think its weird when he only wants to have sex a few drunken nights every six years.

Oh, I'll agree he's impudent after his performance on Oprah. He might even be impotent... :D

And from now on I'm totally calling her The Virgin Katie Holmes.

Damn my poor spelling.

Awesome.

Anyway, about the penguins, I didn’t even know they had gays, or as Earl calls them, homosexual Americans. I guess its true what they say, “Guy penguins will screw anything that waddles.”

So Silo is Bi.

Neat. :)
That is neat.

But poor Roy. :(

You people who think being gay is a choice are braindead.

This is merely bisexuality.

That is neat.

But poor Roy. :(

Yeah ... I do feel bad for Roy gettin' the snub like that. But, hey, now that Silo and Roy have paved the way for other gay penguin couples, I'm sure Roy will have no problem finding himself someone to love.

don't take this too seriously, Mesatecala :)
i think there was just a joke being made.

but talking about not serious- don't hate me for posting this link, i 100%ly disagree with it just as you will-i mean heck, i counselled gay kids who've been subjected to tried brainwash by dubious groups into this it's a choice thing and i know how sick it is..but this site is rather hilarious. check it out, just for laughs.

Too bad for Roy.

Anybody know if he's hot? My penguin's lonely :(

'Course that either involves donating mine to the zoo or stealing Roy. I like the latter choice. Who's with me?

Noticed how there are no gay penguins on the Senate, nor any gay penguin supreme court judges? Coincidence?

I think they're just taking a break so Fred Phelps's pet penguin - which was in front of their cage holding a "God Hates Fags" sign - leaves and the restraining order takes effect.

Poor Roy. They should bring in Siegfried and dress hiom up in a penguin costume so he can sodom... er comfort Roy. It would make an excellent magic trick, and Penguins don't maul people (do they?)

Only their hearts, DV, only their hearts.

It's actually quite common in the wild for most if not all animals to be bisexual. It's natural. In humans though we are a little more complex. We don't get to pick what turns us on anymore than we got to pick our gender at birth.

I think what we're all overlooking here is that cheap slut...er, female penguin, "Scrappy." Now, with a name like this, can we be certain that Scrappy isn't a member of the Lesbos Ladies? Perhaps this is all just a ruse to get the penguin wedding presents, like the herring blender and herring toaster? Maybe Scrappy and Silo have no more interest in each other than Justice David Souter and John Roberts have in each other.

Er...

Okay, that was a bad example, but you get the point.
