Gay Penguins Break Up

New York City's most famous gay penguin couple has split up.

Even worse, one of them has taken up with a female penguin new to the Central Park Zoo (search), the New York Post reports.

Silo and Roy, two male chinstrap penguins (search) native to the South Atlantic, made local headlines six years ago when they came out with their same-sex relationship.

Since then, the pair have successfully hatched and raised an adopted chick — after trying to incubate a rock — and become role models for six other same-sex couples among penguins at the zoo.

That all ended when Scrappy, a single female newly arrived from SeaWorld in San Diego, caught Silo's eye.

"Silo and Roy stopped spending as much time together or building a nest," said John Rowden, curator of animals at the zoo.

Silo promptly moved in with Scrappy, building a new nest with her. Zookeepers were at a loss to explain Silo's sudden conversion.

I heard that before the break up the two penguins planned on moving to Las Vegas, starting up a magic act and raising tigers.

I know that equal rights activists used the penguins as an example of homosexuality in nature - that it was not a choice.

I can't wait to see how the anti-gay forces portray this change... they'll probably claim that the penguins have found god or something.

silo found god at the end of scrappy's love tunnel...god ran inside and silo went chasing after him.
