I am wonderin' WHAT ELSE people want after same sex partners and " bestiality " people ( I hate to say the word " bestiality " gee, I don't know what other nice word for it )... oh, yes do KIDS want the same fair and right, too after adults ? I've read some articles about same sex partners want lower age for kids to have sex. And, also in foreign country, older men want girls at age 9 to have sex too because of their law allows older men to marry young girls at age 9. What's goin' on with this world nowadays ?
First of all, bestiality is not legal anywhere. Secondly, why is it that you continue to insist on comparing two human beings that love each other, are didicated to each other, and share their lives together to someone who seeks sexual gratification from animals? This is not the first time you have made such a reference. It is insulting and ignorant.

You could use a huge dose of multicultural education. You can't compare cultures that sanction underage marraige to the culture here. And, I might remind you, those underage marraiges in other countries are based on religious principle. You want to use your religious beliefs to support your views. You can't deny the same to others.

Exactly what disease/plague are you speaking of? You are insinuating that homosexuality spreads disease and plague. Why don't you just come out and say what you really mean. At least have the courage of your convictions.

I dont understand what beastiality, the spreading of diseases, and underage sex have to do with giving gay/lesbain people the same rights that straight people have.

Unless u see same sex marriages as low as deastiality, child sex, and diseases?

Very ignorant, inheed. I felt insulted myself cuz these are people who are in love with each other and want to share their lives legally and to be compared with sickos who get off from animals is just unbelievable.

Evidently,
1) You believe anything anyone tells you if it fits in your views.
2) You hate pink roses.

It's pretty obvious what you are trying to say. In that case, all white/European people are "wrong" because they brought diseases to America that killed a lot of native Americans.

True. Small pox and influenza come to mind.

Your perspective is so warped up.

Homosexuality and beastility are NOT the same thing, not remotely. Countless heterosexuals have performed beastlity as well and we never legalized it. Even just recently, a woman admitted that she enjoyed being fondled by her dog!

So with your incorrect logic, we should ban heterosexual marriage because it may lead to beastlity!

It's a classic scare tactic - making the end scenario so scary and so horrible that the first step should never be taken. Such are the tactics of the fear and hatemongers.

If concern over the "slippery slope" were the real motive behind this argument, the advocate of this line of reasoning would be equally vocal about the fact that today, even as you read this, convicted murderers, child molesters, known pedophiles, drug pushers, pimps, black market arms dealers, etc., are quite free to marry, and are doing so. Where's the outrage? Of course there isn't any, and that lack of outrage betrays their real motives. This is an anti-gay issue and not a pro marriage issue.

Secondly "beastiality" is illegal in Washington state.


Thank you for your explanation. Care to provide a link to show me where there's a illegal ? I would like to read it, if you don't mind ?

Seriously, give it up already. You know your argument is unfair and it doesn't even make sense and yet, you continue to make it. Why?

Byrdie already smacked down your argument better than I could.

My dear friend, Byrdie, I know you live in Washington State, it's why I chose to post for you. About a link, please do if you have one.

As for other ADers who called me an ignorant, I will not respond to their posts.

Now I understand where you got that information about bestiality being legal in Washington state. You must be referring to that man who died from hemorrhaging from sex with a horse. Bestiality is something that is not very common so people don't bother making laws for it or at least call it something else such as lewd acts, sodomy, animal cruelty, etc. See... we DO have morality in the US despite what you may think, we DO believe that having sex with animals is wrong. Unfortunately, in your eyes, sex with animals is the same thing as sex between same sex couples. No one bothered to do anything about the guy in Washington state because he died, and figured he was just one of the few messed up people.

But if you REALLY want a link:
RCW 16.52.205: Animal cruelty in the first degree.

Here is the gist of the link:

(3) A person is guilty of animal cruelty in the first degree when he or she:

(a) Knowingly engages in any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal;

(b) Knowingly causes, aids, or abets another person to engage in any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal;

(c) Knowingly permits any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal to be conducted on any premises under his or her charge or control;

(d) Knowingly engages in, organizes, promotes, conducts, advertises, aids, abets, participates in as an observer, or performs any service in the furtherance of an act involving any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal for a commercial or recreational purpose; or

(e) Knowingly photographs or films, for purposes of sexual gratification, a person engaged in a sexual act or sexual contact with an animal.



I cant believe I have to post links to prove that bestiality is illegal.... there's something wrong with this picture.

Care to provide a link showing it is legal? You are the one that is obligated to support your claim.

Agreed. Not only is bestiality illegal, it is symptomatic of mental illness. How anyone can compare bestiality to homosexuality is beyond me. It is nothing short of absurd.

Now come to think of it.. I think I did see someone having sex with a gator.

Just because it's "technically" legal doesn't mean there wouldn't be consequences. I mean, technically I can start having sex with trees, but at some point, I'm gonna get in trouble for unrelated reasons (incident exposure, lewd act, etc).

A man got arrested for having sex with his bicycle and another for having sex with a picnic tables. There are threads here on AD about those two bizarre incidents.

I think someone has misunderstood a comment by a gay person saying "that their partner was a animal in bed"

like you said, it's an absurd connection,I can't for the life of me work out how the point was meant to relate to the topic.

And, also in foreign country, older men want girls at age 9 to have sex too because of their law allows older men to marry young girls at age 9. What's goin' on with this world nowadays ?
I kind of thought we'd been over this already, but this argument makes no sense. The same laws that currently protect children or mentally incapacitated people would protect animals in this situation. If you really don't know this, I would just glance over this page. It has a nice clear explanation of how the "capacity" to consent to a marriage works.

Marriage Requirements Basics: Consent, Age, and Capacity - Divorce & Family Law Center

Not only is this just a huge fallacy, but there's something else that's bothered me as well. Your point seems to be that if you allow same-sex marriages, then people will want to marry their animals. Here's my other big problem with this argument. To be perfectly honest, I'm pretty sure that most bestiality is "hetero", meaning that although people are having sex with animals, they are having sex with the opposite "gender" animal. Therefore, shouldn't we be way more worried about the fact that straight people can already get married? I mean, clearly if marriage is promoting a "male" and "female" relationship, then marriage as you're defining it is much more permissive of bestiality than the definition we're proposing of two loving, commited, consenting people.

Just a thought.
