homosexuality is now a norm in culture and society.

bestiality is the next frontier.
when will we see hints of it on network/cable tv? or even in major movies?

See Pat Robertson was right in 2009. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/07/pat-robertson-gay-marriag_n_199312.html

Yesterday, when Gov. John Baldacci (D) signed a marriage equality law, Maine became the fifth state to allow legal same-sex marriage. On the Christian Broadcasting Network today, Pat Robertson responded by claiming that the "ultimate conclusion" of legalizing same-sex marriage would be the legalization of polygamy, bestiality, child molestation and pedophilia. "You mark my words, this is just the beginning in a long downward slide in relation to all the things that we consider to be abhorrent," said Robertson.

Polygamy and beastiality shouldn't be illegal (not saying they should be encouraged either.)

Who, really, is injured by either practice? What harm do they cause?

Morality shouldn't be legislated.

I disagree, polygamy should be legal. as long as everybody involved is entering the relationship freely there is no reason why it should not be legal. all the legal crap like wills, divorce can be worked out.

Did you seriously just compare homosexuality with beastiality? WTF.

IMO the whole issue with gay "marriage" stems from the use of the word "marriage" in our legal system. There is a difference between "religious" marriage and "legal" marriage. I do not understand why people have such a hard time understanding that.

FWIW, it is extremely doubtful that the government as a whole cares whether your marriage is consistent with whatever belief system you happen to follow (or not follow, in the case of atheists). The government just wants to know how to tax you (most importantly), and (somewhat less importantly) how various laws (e.g., divorce laws, estate laws, etc.) should apply to you.

If you are "truly" religious and you view gay marriage as abhorrent because it is inconsistent with your religious views, then you might want to ask yourself why you do not view marriages in accordance with other faiths with the same contempt. Yes those marriages might be between a man and woman, but isn't the fact that they are being joined together by some other deity than your own far more offensive than what their sex happens to be?

Polygamy will be next. I don't think you need to worry about bestiality.

animals can't consent, so I'm sorry, you won't be able to marry your dog anytime soon unless someone finally perfects the bark-to-English translator and we find out that animals do indeed have human-level intelligence.

personally, I see no reason polygamy shouldn't be legal. wouldn't surprise me to see polygamous couples mount a challenge in court, and I'd support their rights.

Been done already. Jersey Shore. Snooki had to have hooked up with something that could be classified as a human.

Every baby conceived is a female (any why men have nipples). Nature is not perfect and some babies are born having attractions to the same sex.

I never heard of a baby being born that has an innate sexual attraction to an animal.

Yup. There's no connection between the OP's statements. You could very well apply the same statement to race..."now that white/black marriage is the cultural norm, blah blah blah." Absurd argument.

Are you implying that same-sex attraction is a defect?

Without a doubt, but we are still a long way away from that. It will take a decade or two for that issue to be brought to the national debate.

same argument when it comes to getting married to children. they can't consent.

I really have no issue with polygamy. though i question the sanity of any man that wan'ts more wives.

That is because you don't understand it. When they have each other to complain to they don't complain to you nearly as much.

Either way it's not my problem. I'm more concerned with my own spouse and family than trying to second-guess the love relationships and erotic preferences of other folks.

that's like my boyfriend's argument that we should get a second cat, because they'll play with each other instead of bothering us so much (not that he's a "bother," but he's always underfoot, which isn't fun with me in a cast and crutches, and he's become super vocal recently).

in reality, I think it'll be exactly the same but with twice as much shit to clean up and double the cats to dodge as I'm trying to walk down the hall to the bathroom at night with my crutches.

The poly thing just seems like a giant legal mess to me.

If there are three partners, how do you decide on important medical decisions if there isn't total agreement?

If one of the wives wants a divorce how do you handle property and shared assets?

So many financial applications and beneficiary forms are setup as a single spouse as the primary with other dependents being available. They would have to be re-written or you'd have to pick your favorite wife :p

Divorces can be messy enough as it is, I can't even imagine the mess throwing a third into the mix would make.
