Originally posted by KazetNagorraSurprising that there was enough of a problem with bestiality in the Netherlands to warrant the time and monetary expenditure to pass laws to outlaw it. One wonders just how many people in the Netherlands this impacts, hmmmmmmmmm, maybe 20% of Netherlands people are into sheep and such (no pun intended). Maybe there were so many Netherlands folks humpin' animals all over the place and it was creating a spectacle in public. It boggles the mind...
In 2001, the Netherlands legalized gay marriage. In 2010, it outlawed bestiality. So there seems to be a clear relationship here.

Better parallel for me is 'gay marriage' and plural marriages. If one is going to be allowed, then why not the other?
Of course the better question is why is the government in the marriage business? Why treat married people differently than unmarried? Marriage is a religious relationship. The government is not supposed to have its hooks in religous matters.
Who you love, or how many isn't government's business, nor is granting favors on that basis.
Originally posted by FMFOk FMF, are you a homosexual? I am not, but be honest, I assure you your answer will not change my regard for you in the least.
There are several regular posters here who wheel out the sex-with-animals and sex-with-children slippery slopes, time and time again, when ending discrimination against homosexuals gets debated.

Originally posted by joe beyserYou should go and check out people's avatars on social media or cyber sex sites perhaps. You can tell them you're not a homosexual if you want. This is a debating forum and unless an avatar seeks to make a political statement of some kind, how can it be "applicable" to any discussion?
You are probably right about that but in this case it is probably applicable here too.
Originally posted by FMFWell ok then since you asked- To a big male gorrilla, I bet that hairy thing around your mouth would be one helluva coc targut. He would want to marry you on the spot. Only take about 6 minutes I recon.

Originally posted by joe beyserAnd what does this bit of analysis have to do with discrimination against homosexuals?

Originally posted by joe beyserAs I said to the OP poster, there are several posters here who like to talk about sex-with-animals or sex-with-children when there is discussion about ending discrimination against homosexuals. You have illustrated my point.
I just think that if you are gay then why discriminate against animals. I hear wedding bells !!!
