The phenomenon of the gay penguins has been known for many years. There's at least one gay penguin couple that's well-known and have been together for a long time - I remember reading about them 5 years ago. As far as I am aware (correct me if I'm wrong) many animals make homosexual pairings when there are females available. This is an argument in favor of the idea that homosexuality is not, in fact, a "lifestyle choice" but something that goes deeper in nature. As for making females available to them - why not? They will still make their own choice, so if they'd prefer to be with a female it's best to have one around after all. You can't force pair bonding or mating, as evidenced by many breeding program efforts where the animals just won't mate according to plan.
