Do you believe that the social acceptance of homosexuality will lead to the social acceptance of bestiality, yes or no?
Simple answer...NO.
NOT DIRECTLY.
I believe for every action there's a reaction, and while I don't beleive RACE has much of anything to do with sexual preference I, a black man, beleive the civil rights movement influenced the gay rights movement(can't say they have nothing in common, we've already established everything can be related).
I know for a fact out of desparation for something to relate to, people persuing gay rights have related their struggle to the rights of minorities in this country. They've used cases of racial discrimination where laws have been established to determine it's wrong as a foundation for their own agenda.
So to say a polygamist, incestor(?), Beastist(?), or even a pedophile doesn't have more of a point in relating their rights to homosexuality is obsurb, and the FACT remains that cases of just that happening are popping up all over the place as we speak. It won't be long before another battle is won, then another. Then comes more "acceptance".
So to throw your own slippery slope arguement back in your face, do you really think the rights of gays to marry and parade their lifestyle in public in this country(US) is more comparable to the rights of a race(black, hispanic, asian, whatever, pick one), or more comparable to the rights of a polygamist who just wants to marry multiple wives and parade their beleifs around?
Checkmate.

take it to pm guys, please this is so far away from the original thread it is not funny anymore......
I apologize if I offended in any way. I feel like I'm wrongfully being put in a category I don't belong in because of making logical observations. Even if I was gay I'd have the same stance I do. Proof? I'm not up here telling you all every detail of what I enjoy in the bedroom with my wife and shoving it in your faces as if it should be acceptable behavior outside of my bedroom.
I never said I find anything wrong with homosexuality, I never said they don't deserve rights. All i've said is when laws are altered for one individual, others will manipulate the system based on the documented changed. Anyone who's taken a course on the U.S. legal system is aware there's no "slippery slope" to that, it's 100% Fact. It's 100% factually happening as we speak.
I won't reply on this anymore and again, hope I didn't offend anyone. I'm a black man and can admit that laws put in place to give people of any race rights were manipulated(FACTUALLY)to get state laws changed to accept gay couples as legally married. In no way am I saying we shouldn't have laws to give all humans rights. In no way am I saying gay marriage is bad. I'm saying laws are put in place for a reason. Ethics and codes are there for a reason. When we begin to deter from all of that, it's not long before people are asking "how can you be a black man/interracial couple/gay couple and not support polygamy/incest/pedophilia" not because I personally can't draw the line, but because millions of others won't and dumb laws get passed daily.
I love weed to death and say the same of states slowly legalizing it when we should be making more shyt found out there(salvia, spice, BATHSALTS)ILLEGAL.
I don't wanna give anyone the idea I'm saying more than that, so my last official statement...I have no more of a problem with homosexuals than i have with weed. I made the mistake of implying that because Elmo was gay people evaded looking at there being a problem with him f**king dudes 1/3 his age as long as they were legal even though he was on a kid show. The problem was 1/3age(legal or not) and KID SHOW. If he was the Hugh Hefner of Naked Men's Magazines I'd have no issue at all with him f**king dudes 1/3 his age. People evade all that because we can't say nothing bad about anyone gay. Bet if he was doing 18 year old girls while puppeting a kids show people woulda seen it in a different light because they wouldn't have to fear being categorized as closed minded. Especially if it was 18 year old White girls(being that above everything else...he's still black)...but that's another day.
No beef with anyone, just discussion.
