Now that is stupid, Everyone knows that your pets are like your children

And we don't marry our children...... Do we ? Unless your a member of some cult like David Koresh's or someone from the movie "Deliverance"

That's all the gay's need is someone starting some trash about animals just to get everyone started on a rant.........Next thing you know some tv evangelist will be using it for his text on next Sunday's program.......

Anyone that honestly rejects gay marriage based on the threat that the next logical step will be people marrying their pets, or people marrying their household appliances is either certifiably insane, or flat out stupid. Mind you, I'm not saying a person holding such a position is ignorant - they are stupid.

And I probably haven't used the word "stupid" more than three times in my life.

Darn, I'm married to my tv, it's the only conversation I get that don't argue back, but I am having an affair with my refrigerator, I secretly meet with it, you can tell because my clothes are getting tighter, too many late night meetings....And I am not gay so they can't blame this on anyone but me and gluttony...By the way gluttony is a sin also........It is over indulgence isn't it?

That's because it's empty polemic rather than a reasoned connection.

I think it's really silly to think that allowing homosexuals to marry would lead to marrying with animals, but in general, what's wrong with bestiality?

Not that i'm ok with it, but, when you look at it seriously, some people really love their pets as if they were real "partners". What if someone wanted to marry her dog for instance because she thinks that all men of the world won't be as loyal as him (it?) The same can be said about men of course.

I won't debate the merits of bestiality, but in those instances where it does occur, I see no need to justify it by the act of homosexuality.

There's nothing new about conservatives fearing change, particularly when it promotes individual freedom.
Substitute "interracial" for "gay" and we can move this whole debate back a century. People were sure legalizing 'miscegenation' would lead civilization into savagery.

I will be honest, I can not even believe we are discussing this absurd notion. I hope that every person on this planet has more brain cells to believe that one equates to another, and if they dont then they maybe need to eliminated for the mental safty of all others

oh Sey, can you really not see it? those who were against interracial marriage a century ago were right! allowing interracial marriage had opened the flood gate to allow gays to argue for their marriage! evidence that the cycle is a very real and dangerous threat!
