Thou art no Romeo.

Boston's beloved pair of swans -- feted by city leaders, residents, and tourists alike as one of the Hub's most celebrated summer attractions -- are a same-sex couple. Yes, scientific tests have shown that the pair, named Romeo and Juliet, are really Juliet and Juliet.

The city's Parks and Recreation Department conducted the tests months ago, but didn't announce the results for fear of destroying the image of a Shakespearean love story unfolding each year in the Public Garden

''If these two swans are happy together, they shouldn't have to have a guy," said Emma Stokien, a 15-year-old from New York. ''It's good to have the swans as a symbol of the acceptance in Massachusetts."

Some advocates involved in the heated debate on same-sex marriage took the opportunity to rejuvenate their argument, with a touch of levity




I nominate this post for "Worst Bad Pun: Thread Title Of the Year"

What I find suspicious is the fact that they needed "scientific tests" to determine the sex of the birds... makes you wonder what kind of "research" somebody must be doing to be chosen as the local expert on determining the sex of swans.

The sex organs of birds aren't exactly apparent from the outside, unlike us primates. You have to be able to look "inside," as it were.

The scientist who does this is called an ornithologist.
 
Life imitates Bevis & Butthead...

"Come with me / Lesbian Seagull / Settle down and rest with me / Oh fly with me lesbian seagull / To my little nest by the sea / With me that's where you belong with me / I know I can be strong when you're--you're with me"--Englebert Humperdink, "Beavis and Butt-head Do America," 1996.
 
Are these birds actually mating in some sense or are they merely swimming around together? Just good friends.

How would lesbian birds "do it", anyway? :p :D
 
The old saying is that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

It now turns out that a bush on two birds is worth a Boston Globe story.

Do I win the bad pun award? :D
 
Nonsense. Religous leaders have told us for ages now that homosexuality doesn't happen in nature. Obviously this is part of the Park and Recreations Department's pro-gay/anti-America agenda.
 
The Trio network had a one hour documentary on this topic. It seems gay swans although rare, do occur more often than people think. The documentary presents many other instances of gay behavior in other animals as well.

In the documentary, a research scientist (IIRC in Texas) has been studying homosexuality in sheep. She has filmed evidence of this occuring (male sheep prefer anal sex with over male sheep even though females are present). She also went on to show differences in the brains of the gay sheep (disected after they died, but were determined to be gay through their live behavior) and presented an interesting hypothesis on why the brains are different (utilizing testosterone IIRC).

The bottom line is if it occurs in nature IT IS natural and homosexuality does occurs in nature.

This one had so many joke possibilities I don't know where to start.

By the way, the researcher's name wasn't "Big Gay Al" by any chance, was it.

So does cannibalism, patricide, infanticide, and eating one's feces. And I've heard some swans subscribe to the New York Times.

I guess Juliet just wanted a partner who wasn't 'rough as a cob'.
