As people around the world express sympathy for their plight, Toronto Zoo has said its gay penguins will be reunited by the spring of next year.

Buddy and Pedro, African penguins, had “pair bonded” before they arrived at the zoo in Canada but for the sake of their species are to be paired with females this winter.

Mr Mason said: “There will be a limited time of separation but it will not be permanent. No matter what happens all the penguins will be re-united by spring.

“If Pedro and Buddy wish to get back together, they will be welcome to do so.”

1. Wait a minute...

does this have the blessing of the other penguins at the zoo?

2. What about the value of property in the zoo neighbourhood?

4. Forget property values. What about the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman?

3. Kidding aside, that is a truly wonderful gesture

Very touching.

5. Very sweet story

Though I suppose the Christian Right will claim that it's a threat to everyone's marriage, and that if it's allowed, we'll all end up marrying penguins.
