Are gays no better than people who have it off with household pets (bear with me...!)

[sp1814]

French politician Brigitte Bareges has caused outrage in France when she compared gay weddings to ‘unions with animals:

Now, I know those from the 'conservative end' of the political spectrum see gay equality as something to fight against (family values, traditional morals etc), but surely, equating a loving consensual relationship between two adults is a world away from...well, having it off with with a border collie!

Is this a common perception?

[ummmm]

*One obviously cannot help being born gay, but why do they constantly try and convert everyone to their way of thinking, some people, (myself included) have nothing against gays as individuals, but it is the actual sex act between them that which they find aberrant.*

Do you find it equally aberrant if the same sex act was between male and female?

[jackthehat]

Well, providing he took them out to dinner first and then sent flowers afterwards.......

[ummmm]

Doc, that is more likely a mental health issue.

[ummmm]

I realised that when I posted it Chuck....

Having sex with a different species, especially a species that can't talk!!, is more likely to be mental health issues.

/// Do you find it equally aberrant if the same sex act was between male and female? ///

Personally I would say 'yes', because it is yet another deviant, which some may wish to partake in as they do in other such acts from the norm.

[ummmm]

That's ok then...imo. But just so you know....not all gay men partake in that act either :-) and you may be surprised at how many straight people do..

Interesting that some people are unable to debate homophobia without going straight to act of sex itself...and just in case I've confused anyone - highlighting homophobia is a world away from constantly raising questions in order to criticise minorities.

This woman is so stupid - makes you wonder how she got into politics . . . oh yes, of course, that's how she got into politics.

Well you have certainly confused me now.

Unless you are actually saying, it is perfectly ok for you to criticise persons who hold their own views on homosexuality, (to which you wrongfully attach the label homophobic), but it is totally wrong for others to criticise minorities.

Thinking about it though, you are always saying that any with anti-gay views for instance are in the minority, so therefore aren't you also guilty of 'criticising minorities'?

[joeluke]

sp......gays ARE very much in a minority

I've never berated anyone for having anti-gay views, even though I disagree with them. I have yet to hear any valid justification for those anti-gay views, though. The usual comments are:
'Sex is for procreation'. In that case, anyone with anti-gay views who has had sex more times than the amount of children they have, are hypocritical (not including fertility problems). Any anti-gays who have had oral sex are hypocritical. Any anti-gays who have had 'back-door' sex are hypocritical.
'It's not natural'. There are many animals who have gay sex, as well as humans. Mother NATURE created us all.
'The bible says it is wrong'. Any anti-gays who say this are also hypocritical if they masturbate, as the bible says that this is wrong also.
Anti-gay men might also want to think about the times that a lot of them fantasise about lesbians.

[ummmm]

Well said Arti....
