So the day after I post my story about hanging out with the gay penguins in Central Park, a New York Times article comes out that says that they have ended their six yewar relationship because Scrappy, a slutty San Diego penguin ho, moved in to the neighborhood and put the moves on Silo.
But the unfolding drama doesn't end there. The foster penguin that Roy and Silo raised from an egg together has grown up to be a full blown lesbian (she was last seen trading in her traditional penguin tuxedo wear for a mullet and flanel shirt) and is now sharing a nest with another female penguin (and 6 cats).
And homosexuality is now running RAMPENT within the penguin community in Central Park with three other same sex couples residing there now.
By next year I think they may have recruited enough homos that they can have their own parade.

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, the New York Post reports.
Silo and Roy, two male chinstrap penguins 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.
