The Munich Zoo (Germany) has organized a program to explore homosexual relationships in the animal world to promote support for gay people around the world.
Not only penguins, giraffes, lions and many other animals can also be gay.

Zoo spokesman, Dennis Spaeth, thinks it's important to mention homosexual love in the animal world. It may show that homosexuality is a very normal thing of nature.
"Unfortunately, in Germany more and more extremists are attacking the rights of homosexual, bisexual, transgender, transgender people and those who have not identified their gender (LGBTQI)" , he said. Spaeth said.
Participating in the program, the first visitors will be visiting giraffes. Biologist Guenter Strauss thinks giraffes are bisexual animals .
According to him, 90% of the behavior of studied giraffes is homosexual.
Next, the show leads visitors to see the lives of the empty Humboldt penguin couples. Observing closely, viewers can see that they incubate the stone to replace the eggs during the breeding season.
Mr. Strauss said penguin's homosexual relationship could last a lifetime, which is quite rare in the animal world.
Despite the fact, there are hundreds of species with homosexual behavior, including elephants, snakes and birds. Unlike humans, the sexual preference of four-legged and feathered species is very normal.
"In humans, we mature in a world with a specific sexual orientation. This is often not true for animals, they are bisexual. They can perform different sexual behaviors at times. " Mr. Strauss explained."
To illustrate, this scientist said that 8% of male lion's sexual activity is gay. For children, they only show these behaviors when imprisoned.
However, homosexuality in the animal world is still quite sensitive in the scientific world.
The Munich Zoo collaborated with the organizers of the Homosexual Week to discover this story. Since then, they hope to improve people's empathy for gender diversity stories.
