Happy Gay Household Broken Up By Widower

Wednesday, September 09, 2009 07:22 PM

In a turn of events pulled straight from a script for “The Gays of Our Lives,” a weary widower has managed to break up a happy home.  For the past 6 years, Pepper and Harry, two male penguins at the San Francisco Zoo have lived in a presumably unrecognized (being that they’re CA residents) marriage.  All seemed well, and most thought the union couldn’t be more perfect.  Having spent a good portion of their lives together, even raising children, everyone expected the two lovebirds (pun intended) to live out the rest of their days together.  But that all changed, when Pepper and Harry’s neighbor, Linda became a widower.  Harry made a move many gay individuals fear and left his partner for a member of the opposite sex.    Did Harry want biological children?  Was Harry hoping to blend into society for an easier, more accommodating heterosexual lifestyle?  Or given the larger population of male penguins than female penguins, maybe Pepper was just a matter of convenience to Harry.   Regardless of the reason, Pepper was pissed.  And in true, scorned ex-boyfriend fashion, proceeded to harass the new couple to the point that zoo officials had to remove him to another residence so that he could decompress.  Clearly, hell hath no fury like a scorned penguin.  The separation seems to have worked, as Pepper is back in his original home, although no longer with Harry.  While, Harry continues to live next door with Linda.  Wedding plans are apparently in the works, they are registered at Petco.
