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.
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.
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.

I really have no issue with polygamy. though i question the sanity of any man that wan'ts more wives.
I predict beastiality will be the next boundary to be crossed
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.

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.
