Speaker 1: So get this headline. Same sex penguin couple to raise
Speaker 1: first gender neutral chick at London aquarium. Okay. According to
Speaker 1: The Hill, a couple of female penguins named Rocky and
Speaker 1: mo Rama are being treated as a couple at the
Speaker 1: Sea Life Foundation of London. Aquarium manager Graham McGrath says
Speaker 1: the two female penguins have shown their commitment to each
Speaker 1: other in previous breeding seasons. How don't know. Article doesn't
Speaker 1: say they're probably just guessing or hoping, but it does
Speaker 1: say that in addition to showing their commitment to each other,
Speaker 1: these two women penguins showed they can build a nest.
Speaker 1: So these two women penguins were given a baby penguin.
Speaker 1: They did not give birth to it. The baby was
Speaker 1: taken from its real mother penguin, which had another chick
Speaker 1: to raise baby chick. Penguins at this aquarium are given
Speaker 1: tags that identify their gender, but this chick has a
Speaker 1: purple tag. The aquarium has decided to define this baby
Speaker 1: penguin as gender neutral. They didn't ask the penguin about it.
Speaker 1: They has did it. Manager McGrath says this may ruffle
Speaker 1: a few feathers, but he's okay. With that, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make a prediction. If this chick grows to maturity, it
Speaker 1: will prove that it isn't gender neutral and it will
Speaker 1: eventually made with a penguin of the opposite sex. Another guests,
Speaker 1: there won't be any March of the Purple Penguin documentaries
Speaker 1: and theaters anytime soon because these people are not their
Speaker 1: genuine wackos. I wish I had more time for this
