Many people feel sodomy is disgusting and should be banned, yet enlightened liberals like yourself castigate those people as being "behind the times" or "primitive."
So are you saying that "disgusting sexual acts" can only be determined by liberals?
I say if you all want to consider sodomy simply an "alternative lifestyle", then incest (sexual relations between two consenting adults) as well as bestiality should also be fair game. Since using the bible as a moral standard is considered "backward thinking", then who are we to tell the donkey fukkers and blood relatives that they can't fukk and get married to their significant others?
i actually think it's gross too, especially two dudes, but i also dont care because if it's two consenting adults and they are not butt-banging in the street then it is none of my business, and if it makes them happy then i dont want to go out of my way to try to deny people the pursuit of happiness. that is all american's right, sodomite or non-sodomite.
i also dont like incest, but if it is two consenting adults then whatever. i dont get in their business and dont want to deny them whatever is making them happy either.
bestiality is not between consenting adults. in its capacity to harm and exploit the defenseless, i can logically support laws against these practices, but i think society is grossed out by it more than really caring about the welfare of the animal since people otherwise exploit and abuse animals for food, sport, and fashion. i think bestiality is gross and probably traumatizing to the animal, but so is commercial farming. in light of this, i dont really care whether they prosecute donkey fukkers or not since i know i eat traumatized animals every day and wear their skins as a pair of jordans. i would rather there be a world where perverts arent doing this, but a fukked cow is about as traumatized as a castrated bull or a mother cow seeing her baby turned into veal chops, or a chicken doped up to grow huge and staying stuffed in a cage with its own feces piling up just to get its neck snapped so it can be deep fried at popeye's
but to draw out the differences between you and me, i think law is primarily for preventing harm and meeting out justice after harm is done. i dont think it should be focused on regulating morals and social norms. i would rather people and communities do that in their privacy. so, while i would not support laws keeping gays from getting married, i would support a preacher/rabbi/imam refusing to perform a gay marriage in his/her house of worship. the gay couple would have to go somewhere that supports that lifestyle.
