Flamingo pair adopt jilted chick (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/gloucestershire/6679315.stm)

I don't want to post the full article, so you'll want to go to the link for the whole story.

WWT spokeswoman Jane Waghorn said: "Fernando and Carlos are a same sex couple who have been known to steal other flamingos' eggs by chasing them off their nest because they wanted to rear them themselves.

"They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them, so last week when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents."

This is awesome!

Gay flamingos raising a chick. That is just so cute!

Could there be a more appropriate use for the expression 'pink power'?

How awesome and wonderfully appropriate, given that 'flaming' is part of the name of the bird species.

heh! cool :D

Flaming(o), pink, gay...

What else?

At least they're pretty birdies. :)

These flamingos are taking away good, God-fearing, church-going, heterosexual flamingos' babies just to corrupt them with the gay agenda! We must outlaw this behavior at once! New laws that prohibit gays from raising children that extend to all species! From humans to primates to flamingos all the way down to the lowliest of microbes! We must stop the insidious gay agenda before the gays steal our babies as well! DO YOU WANT GAY BABIES? WELL, DO YOU?

Wait, what? Where am I? :confused:

Ah damn, I need to be less obvious with my sarcasm.

I think he was just possessed by the spirit of Falwell. Out Spirit! Back to whence you came!

I can't think of anything particularly witty to say about the flamingoes, so I'll just do a stereotypical FABULOUS! and be on my way.

So much for Falwell, Phelps, and all the other nutjobs that like to throw words like "unnatural" when speaking of homosexuality.

Because, you know, it clearly happens in nature.

Homophobia, on the other hand... *shrugs* I don't see no homophobic flamingoes trying to guilt trip those new parents into living sad, lonely, unfulfilled lives.

lol...it's strange though that gay flamingos can raise a baby, but gay humans can't. :confused:

They have the right to be tasty and washed down with a cold beer.




*That applies here right?*
