Can Homosexuality be Cured? Part Deux
German Zoo Forces Gay Vultures to Mate With Females
Griffon vultures aren’t classified as endangered, but the purpose of their captivity in zoos is to allow them to reproduce in safe environments, to eventually grow their species’ numbers and release them back into the wild. Zookeepers decided that Guido and Detlef’s living arrangements weren’t helping that goal.
So last week, Guido was snatched from his partner and shipped 400 miles east to a zoo in the Czech Republic, where a new bride awaited him. In his place is a Czech temptress whom zookeepers hope can seduce Detlef.
Amazingly enough, right wing nutbars were not the first people to craft a loopy response to this development (although look for something from the AFA any minute).
Gay rights activists held a small demonstration in front of the zoo, waving a rainbow flag and decrying the zookeepers for standing in the way of love.
“This is like in the dark middle ages, forcibly making a creature sexually re-orient itself by tearing its partner from its side,” The German Herald quoted one protester as saying. Others said they worried that what’s happened to the birds could one day happen to humans as well.
Horrifying. Why the day might come when, if you fly, you only get one carrion.
