Gay parenting

Two pairs of storks - one gay, one lesbian - have each successfully raised a family in the Netherlands, adding yet more proof that there's nothing inherently wrong with gay parenting.

In fact it is unsurprising; the storks were just carrying out their biological function. That is to say, given how common it is and how long it has existed, homosexuality has to have a biological function, and since it's obviously not reproduction, it has to be something else. I've heard that it's population control, but what makes more sense is kin selection - namely, the raising of young of the same species which are abandoned or otherwise without a parent. Remember, evolution isn't about the propagation of a single animal's genes, but about the survival of the species as a whole. And in that respect, kin selection plays a part in evolution, keeping otherwise healthy young alive to go on and have families of their own.
