We thought we had seen everything!
by Brainwash

They always try to make us believe that the phenomenon of homosexuality is simply a coincidence and that gays have nothing to do with all that! Then we should not be surprised to see a sacred union of a different kind, between a human (male) and an animal (female), and vice versa, to tell us, later, that it happened like that, nothing can be done!

Yes, we want you to believe that gays have nothing to do with the phenomenon of homosexuality.

"They always try to make us believe that the phenomenon of homosexuality is simply a coincidence and that gays have nothing to do with all that!"

>>Gays have nothing to do with what? your post doesn't make this clear.

"Then we should not be surprised to see a sacred union of a different kind, between a human (male) and an animal (female), and vice versa, to tell us, later, that it happened like that, nothing can be done!"

>>If you're talking about a sacred union you're explicitly describing a religious sacrament of marriage, not a civil marriage--the state doesn't have the power to sanctify anything, after all--and with respect to same sex marriage we're only talking about civil recogntion, not religious recognition. I very much doubt we'll see any religions which don't already recognize inter-species marriages moving to do so in the future, regardless of whether or not civil authorities elect to recognize marriages between partners of the same gender.

Brainwash, that post makes no sense at all. I can't even tell what you're trying to say.

>> Your predecessor has quickly understood when he said: "... gays have nothing to do with the phenomenon of homosexuality.” he then implicitly recognised it was the result of a genetic whim!

And if so, I fear that the future will show us that there are people who aspire to have relations (intimate), be they civil or religious, between humans and animals!

If you can’t, don’t!

PS:

I suppose you do not like that your wife or your husband could leave you to marry a gay or an animal?

I thought I was talking to normal people, hetero of course, but unfortunately I've found none, does that mean that you are all gays?

My predecesser? Who and what are you talking about?
by JGC
There are now (and has been for centuries) people who find bestiality arousing, but no evidence that a correlation between the incidence of bestiality and the legal recognition of same sex marriage exists.
Re: My predecesser? Who and what are you talking about?
by Brainwash

We live in a world where everything is allowed, there is no moral scruples. Now all you need is a group of people who dare to assert this right, the right to take any animal for spouses, males or females.

by KatherineKatherine

You're talking about a man having a relationship with a different species, such as a goat. Other animals are not cognizant the way we are. They cannot legally consent to relationships with humans. Society will never accept bestiality as moral in this country, for good reason.

Two men having a relationship? That's completely different. They can both legally consent. Get it?

Probably not, because you're a fucking idiot.

People could have asserted this at any time in the past
by JGC
So I fail to see the point you're trying to make. Certainly recognition of same sex civil marriage between consenting adults doesn't argue for inter-species marriages, nor does it support an assertion "we live in a world where everything is allowed'.
Why "hetero of course"?
by JGC
You seem to be presuming that homosexuality isn't representative of the normal variation of human sexual behavior. What's your basis for that extraordinary notion?

Look, don't you get it? The only way to have freedom with liberty and justice for all is if we outlaw all unnatural acts such as homosexuality, abortion, public health insurance and refusing to hunt and kill your own dinner.

The part I don't get is the idea that it's unnatural
by JGC

After all, homosexuality has been observed in all cultures throughout all of recorded history, as well as in non-human populations—how much more natural could it get?

1. It could be mentioned in the Bible without associated mentions of abomination and rock throwing etc.

2. It could result in pregnancy.

That's all I can come up with. Sounds like it is on a par with adultery. Except that could result in pregnancy...ah never mind. Anyway, Adultery is in the 10 Commandments and homosexuality isn't.

So I think the message is clear. Either gay marriage and adultery are both legal or both illegal. Can't split them up arbitrarily.
