""And I know some of you are outraged that I would compare bestiality to this," she said. "Forty or 50 years ago, people would be outraged that we were talking about gay marriage." "

How true, how true.

Hey Bill,, I find the sodomites demands for normal people to accept their disgusting disease spreading practices offensive, close-minded derogatory and crude! Now apologize!

What you shove, & where you shove it... I dont care to know! It's not my business, I don't want or need to know! Go back in the closet!

You are NOT NORMAL! YOU ARE SICK! Stop spreading your disease!

[ "For some people, the alternative lifestyle is bestiality. Do we allow a man to marry a sheep?" ]

Its about love... But some people love animals.. say dogs.. With some love and sex are two sides of the same coin.. This question should be shouted from the rooftops..

Is marriage all about KIDs or not?.. Some people love their automobiles..

"This shows just how far to the right and out-of-touch the Beauprez-Rowland ticket really is,"

No, the ones who are out of touch are the folks who are pretending that it's perfectly normal for men to diddle each other, and for women to ... well, never mind.

Homosexuality is not akin to bestiality because the animal has no choice in the affair. Similarly, there is no slippery slope from legalizing gay marriage to legalizing sex with minors because minors are also perceived has not being able to make a concious choice in the matter. The only slipperly slope gay marriage might lead to is polygamy.

Amazing that people no longer think that gay marriage is absurd. It shows, as the gays themself point out, how the sexual revolution has devalued the sex act. Anything goes.

Here you go from more than six years ago ---

SHOULD A MAN BE ALLOWED TO MARRY HIS GOAT?

Culture/Society Opinion Keywords: WHY NOT A GOAT?

Sorry, although the title suggests that this is a humorous piece, it is not. Someday, there will be a demand by someone that the state officially recognize a marriage between he and his livestock.

In California voters will decide on March 7 whether the institution of marriage has meaning in the traditional sense. They will be voting on an initiative which is Proposition 22 on the ballot. This initiative statute would provide that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Marriages performed in other states and countries would not be legal in California if they did not meet this criterion.

I suspect that as we grow older we tend to hold onto or honor those traditions that have had meaning in our lives. And we would hope that such traditions would have meaning and importance to others.

A man and woman marrying and raising their children has been proven for generation after generation after generation to be the best possible family structure for society. Twenty years ago, never could I have imagined that a proposition such as Proposition 22 would be necessary. It was just assumed that men would marry women, have children and carry on in the traditions that have proven best.

What is behind the proposition, of course, is more than just a question of whether homosexuals may marry and be officially recognized by the state. It is clearly an issue of states rights. Since California does not sanction marriage between other than a man and woman, should it be forced to do so if a couple marries in another state and comes to California?

Homosexuals may live with whom they wish. They may work where they wish although there certainly exists some discrimination in certain job areas. I personally would not want my son to be supervised by a gay scout leader. Homosexuals may own property together. Homosexuals may visit each other in the hospital. And homosexuals may will their property, real or personal, to their partner.

So what is it that they want? If homosexuals are officially recognized by the state as married couples, their union will be recognized as equal to that of heterosexual couples. The next step is clear. Homosexual couples would demand equality in the adoption of children. If their marriage was officially sanctioned and determined to be equal to any others' marriages, how could the argument be refuted?

Now back to my originial suggestion which at first looks preposterous. If two homosexuals can marry, why can't a brother and sister marry, particularly if one is sterile and no deformed children would result? Or, how about two men and a woman or two women and a man? How about a father and his daughter? Or, a father and his son? How about a man and his goat? If a man is in love with his goat, who is to say that such should not be sanctioned? It won't affect you and it won't affect me. If they are happy together, why not? It is not animal abuse. After all, you can kill a goat and eat it. Can someone stop you from having sex with it?

The attempted devaluation of marriage needs to stop now. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That does not need to be fixed. Gays may do what they like behind closed doors and spend their lives with their partners. If a man cannot legally marry another man, that is just too damned bad. If a man cannot marry his goat, that is just too damned bad.

Stupid comment. Beauprez needs to win the rural vote to win. Fight bestiality AFTER the election.

Alternative lifestyle translates into anal sex for men with resulting hemorrhoids and cunnilingus with women resulting in herpes and bad breath. Humanity needs saving from its ownself. Good grief!

Democrats pounced on Colorado's Republican gubernatorial candidate

You know, considering the subject matter, another writer would have phrased that differently...

Democrat Bill Ritter's campaign called the remarks "insensitive, close-minded, derogatory and crude" and demanded an apology.

Notice that Ritter called her comments everything but inaccurate and untrue. Oopsy! The dhimmie's Freudian slip is showing again.

I bet the followers of incest from Clinton's hometown felt left out. I weep for their omission.

This is a perfectly legitimate and a good question. The Democrats should answer it.

She spoke the truth. Nothing wrong with that. For some people, the "alternative lifestyle" IS bestiality. Similarly, for some folks, the "alternative lifestyle" is sodomy.

Homosexuals dislike it when you expose the fact they are sexual perverts.

Homosexuals are only about sex. PERIOD.

Comparing homosexual fetishist to those who have a fetish for sex with animals is accurate and precise.

Homosexuality is not a compulsion to arrange flowers and interior decorating.

To all these critics; She wasn't saying the gay livestyle was the same as bestiality---her analogy was stressing that society has limits. But ya know how the libs will be so quick to jump on her because she dared criticize the homosexual agenda.
