Parks & Recreation Marries Gay Penguins

from Gayest Episode Ever · host Drew Mackie & Glen Lakin / TableCakes Productions

"Pawnee Zoo" (September 17, 2009) Okay, fine, we did the Parks & Rec episode you asked for, but here's the thing: The one were Leslie Knope marries gay penguins is not the pro-gay piece of TV history you think it is. Nowhere in this episode does Leslie ever say she gives a dirty squirt about gays or same-sex marriage. The episode never takes a position, and the fact that it won a GLAAD Media Award makes it all the more galling that "Pawnee Zoo" plays out as Leslie liking positive attention but never saying a single nice thing about gay people.
