Closet penguin?

[heliopsis.livejournal.com]

Browsing Café Press, I ran into T-shirts with a "closet penguin" motif in the GLBT section. I am baffled. A google search did me no good, all I got was the same T-shirts and a number of clearly irrelevant things. Usually a google search of any kink will turn up a definition on the first page.

Some speculation: perhaps a penguin is a tuxedo fetishist? Or perhaps it's a gay stay-at-home dad, alluding to March of the Penguins? Or maybe it's someone who likes sushi and swimming in cold water. I suppose it could be someone's very personal symbolism which they had no intention of ever selling publicly, but there seems to be a whole slough of offerings.

So I thought I'd ask the hep-cats in Davis Square for advice. What are the young people talking about these days?

Happy Feet

A bunch of idiot conservatives are saying that the movie "Happy Feet" (the animated one with the penguins) has gay overtones and is trying to turn people gay or something. My guess is that the t-shirt is referring to a combination of gay penguin themes in the news lately, including "Happy Feet" and the above-mentioned stories.
