Prominent Homosexual Activist Says Bestiality OK "As Long as the Animal Doesn't

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 4, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Long-time homosexual activist Frank Kameny's claim to fame is successfully manipulating the American Psychiatric Association into declassifying homosexuality as a mental disorder, and today the Smithsonian honoree is now busily advocating bestiality "as long as the animal doesn't mind."

Kameny, 83, has had a long career advocating the removal of any restrictions on human acts long considered by sane societies as obscene, dangerous, and disordered.

However the octogenarian has a new mission to complement his current campaign to pressure the APA to ban reparative therapy for homosexuals. Kameny describes his mission as "Americanism in action" by advocating bestiality and encouraging the saturation of American culture with what he calls "more and better and harder-core pornography."

According to Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), Kameny wrote an e-mail to them saying that while he was personally opposed to bestiality, he found it an otherwise "harmless" quirk, so long as it was consensual with the animal involved.

"Bestiality is not my thing," Kameny wrote. "But it seems to be a harmless foible or idiosyncrasy of some people. So, as long as the animal doesn't mind (and the animal rarely does), I don't mind, and I don't see why anyone else should."

Americans for Truth president Peter LaBarbera said Kameny's outrageous statement begged a number of questions.

"We have many questions for Kameny, the first being: how exactly does an animal signal his or her 'consent' to have sex with a human?" queried LaBarbera.

In his May 31, 2008 e-mail to AFTAH, Kameny prefaced his comments by saying "the term 'sexual perversion' is devoid of objective meaning" and added that the correct definition for him was "any sexual practice disapproved of by the speaker."

"If something which someone arbitrarily defines as a 'sexual perversion' provides happiness for consenting adult participants, then its enjoyment is enshrined in basic Americanism," Kameny wrote. "So: Let us have more and better enjoyment of more and better sexual perversions, by whatever definition, by more and more consenting adults. We will all be the better off thereby. And that will be Americanism in action."

Kameny made the bold claim that the founding fathers of the United States implicitly approved of uninhibited sexual exploits or "sexual perversion" when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, because he believes it is part of the "Inalienable Right, of the 'Pursuit of Happiness'".

Kameny included bestiality and hardcore pornography as "Americanism in action" and said that those who wanted to suppress it were "the American Taliban, and Christianofascism in action."

Kameny said he is the founder and president of the National Consumers Association for the Advancement and Protection of Pornography, Inc. He told Americans for Truth, "Give some thought to what Americanism and our American freedoms really mean. It is clear that you haven't a clue."

Kameny has been painted by some on the moral left as a "civil rights leader." His 1965 protest signs that contributed to the removal of homosexuality from the APA's list of mental disorders will be displayed at the National Museum of American History, and his papers will be archived at the Library of Congress. Americans for Truth, however, have protested against recognizing Kameny as a civil rights leader, observing that Kameny has advocated moral anarchy in all sexual matters, contributing further to the accelerating breakdown of modern American society, especially through the destruction of the family.

And down the slippery slope we slide..................

The term "sexual perversion" certainly does have an objective meaning, something along the lines of "Any act, other than heterosexual vaginal intercourse, engaged in for the purpose of sexual gratification."

Now, that's not to say that any act fitting that description is necessarily morally wrong.  And while I think it's sick and disgusting, I can't see how engaging in non-physically harmful sexual acts with animals who are both non-sentient and non-sapient could be considered anything other than the equivalent of masturbation.  Religious prohibitions aside, that is.  (Incidentally, that leads directly to a powerful endorsement of Christianity.  "If it weren't for the Bible, I wouldn't be able to formulate an ethical objection to f**king a sand shark!")

Of course, there is the rub in that we don't have any absolute method of evaluating whether or not an animal is sentient and/or sapient; maybe water buffalo were actually the first to develop analytic geometry, and then Descartes stole it from them, and cursed them to never being able to tell anyone.  So to be on the safe side, it's best to stay away from bestiality, Christian or no - but that's a practical ban, not a formal one.

I really don't know where I'm going with this.  I was supposed to read seventy-some pages for my econ class and then get some sleep... the former may not happen tonight/this morning.

And to think the gay activists claimed this would never happen.  Polygamy.  Bestiality.  What's next to legalize?  Pedophilia?

Hell in a handbasket, folks.  That's where we're headed with these assholes.

Holy shit. That's about all I can muster at this point.

[Splashdown]

Lol. Lemme get this straight (to use an expression)

Eating the animals roasted over a nice charcoal fire? Bad

Screwing animals? Just peachy!

WTF?

 

[Uhhuh35]

Sounds like yer' typical Democrat Super Delegate! 

[mamacags]

Maybe that is why they are trying so desperately in Europe to legalize human animal hybrids?  I mean what is a marriage without kids that look at least a little like dad and Baaaaaaaaamom?
