Actually, I let the comment drop because I didn't feel like getting into that argument. There was a jibe in the initial title because the article itself delves into that argument and that fact is that I myself have actually predicted on this list that such utter nonsense would come to play via the argument for homosexual marriage. And here I am, right about it.
What I really find interesting is that your response to zoophilia is about the same as many people's towards homosexuality. Logic aside, there are many people who just don't think that homosexual marriage makes any sense with the same emotion that you make clear in your post. However, that's as far as I feel like discussing this issue because it's a dead horse. I will decline to answer your direct question because my own feelings on any marriage outside of male-female relationships are probably well-known or are at least inferred with the responses that I've posted today to certain threads. However, there was no question about the homosexual marraige in the response to Gel. He insinuated that he knew of research that indicated that this kind of relationship was actually harmful to the animal. That's what really interests me - the fact that this research exists and the actual outcome. Is it harmful because the animal was physically hurt? Is it emotional hurt? Where in the world did they find test subjects? Why does Gel know about it? Those are the hard-hitting questions I have for Gel. - Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Champagne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 3:47 PM Subject: Re: Maybe one day we'll allow them to get married. > OK, fair enough, but I still think you're implying something ridiculous > here...I noticed you didn't respond to the marriage comment, either.
