Sentence:  In fact, as several letter writers to the "New York Times" pointed out in their response to the article, the disjuncture between these two popularized penguins shows how radically separated from each other are communities of <WSD>gay</WSD> people and communities of right-wing religious conservatives: if the Christian fundamentalists had looked up “<WSD>gay</WSD> penguins” or even “penguins” on the Internet, they would have encountered several <WSD>gay</WSD> penguin sites, including the story of Roy and Silo, the Central Park Zoo <WSD>gay</WSD> penguin couple about whom a children's book was written; the saga of the <WSD>gay</WSD> penguin community at a German zoo; and the campaign of <WSD>Gay</WSD> Penguin for President (whose slogan was “George W. Bush talks the talk, but <WSD>Gay</WSD> Penguin walks the walk.”) 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  Possessing sexual and/or emotional attraction towards members of the same gender or non-anti-gender area.
