Gay penguin couple hatch baby

Two homosexual penguins have successfully hatched an egg that was rejected by its parents and are now proudly rearing the chick, the German zoo housing the gay couple said.

The male penguins, Z and Vielpunkt, "gladly accepted their Easter present and began straight away with hatching the egg," the zoo in Bremerhaven in northern Germany said.
 
Z and Vielpunkt are part of a six-strong gay community among the zoo's collection of endangered Humboldt penguins who rose to fame in 2005 when four Swedish females were brought in an unsuccessful attempt to "cure" them.
