The things 'leaders' get upset about. Ya' think they've got too much time or maybe hate on their minds ?
I like the Zoo keepers response below...'just wait & see'...I'll bet that works with all mammals -- even humans.

Politician fumes over "gay" elephant in zoo
Fri Apr 10, 1:34 pm ET
WARSAW (Reuters) – A Polish politician has criticized his local zoo for acquiring a "gay" elephant named Ninio who prefers male companions and will probably not procreate, local media reported Friday.
"We didn't pay 37 million zlotys ($11 million) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there," Michal Grzes, a conservative councilor in the city of Poznan in western Poland, was quoted as saying.
"We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?" said Grzes, who is from the right-wing opposition Law and Justice party .
The head of the Poznan zoo said 10-year-old Ninio may be too young to decide whether he prefers males or females as elephants only reach sexual maturity at 14.
