I was thinking along similar lines. You see homosexual behavior in prison populations. There might be a similar effect in captive populations of male penguins.
I don't understand why trying to hatch rocks is evidence of homosexual behavior. I thought that in most species of penguins, males are high-investing. (Heterosexual males invest a lot in offspring, including sitting on the eggs).
