Lootekukur, my friend, I am smiling at the 'food for thought' comment. The last time you said such a thing, there was a bit too much food on the table and a lot of it was unrelated to thought! LOL. Anyways, I don't think it's a fair to seek any sort of moral equivalence between gay marriage and marriage with animals. Besides distracting from the real issue in the debate, which in my opinion is human equality and dignity, your point in some ways dimishes and mocks the sufferings of gays in places like Nepal and elsewhere who have suffered pretty badly at the hands of homophobes who use arguments very similar to the one you put forth. I know you are not a homophobe so don't take my point personally. Yes, it is for a society to decide what is acceptable behavior. If a society should decide zoosexualism is acceptable, then they have every right to. It may not be to everyone's taste but that's their decision. I am realist and realize society will not see gay marriage as 'normal' for a long time. I live in a state, as do many other Sajhaites, where gay marriage is legal and some of my collegues, friends and relatives are gay. And they are as 'normal', if not more, than the others in society who are heterosexuals. I haven't met anyone attracted to animals yet, but I'd be willing to at least hear them out, even if I did not see eye to eye with them :) Just a thought.
