Stupid analogies people like to use.

This is an angry rant you may find offensive to your religion/way of life/beliefs. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Definition of analogy here.

1) Comparing homosexual behavior to bestiality.
As in, homosexuality is wrong, bestiality is wrong. Therefore, if homosexuals are allowed to have sex/get married/adopt kids/etc, I should be allowed to have sex with/get married to/etc my cat/dog/elephant/misc non-human creatures.

Homosexual activities are consensual (if they are not, then they categorised under rape), bestiality is not. Unless you can somehow converse in animal-speak and get your cat/dog/elephant's consent before you screw it, you are technically taking part in what we humans call rape.

Analogy not valid.

2) Comparing homosexual behavior to criminal acts.
As in, homosexuality is wrong, just like murder/rape/arson/robbery.

Murder involves victim(s) and perpetrator(s). Rape involves victim(s) and perpetrator(s). Arson involves victim(s) and perpetrator(s). Robbery involves victim(s) and perpetrator(s). Homosexual behavior involves two or more willing participants, which creates neither victim nor perpetrator. Just because homosexuality is currently (and IMO erroneously) categorised under criminal acts doesn't mean it is a valid comparison.

Analogy shot to hell.

Wish: If you're going to deny a sizeable population of our society the privileges we 'normal people' enjoy as rights, at least try harder to be intelligent, thanks. And just to be fair, I'm going to leave the comment section open, cos 1) it's not fair if I get to speak but you don't, and 2)where's the fun if everyone agrees with you? More 1) than 2), obviously.

If you're not able to respond in civil and non-trollish manner, then don't respond at all. If you still insist on showing everyone how stupid you are, your comments will be ruthlessly deleted and you will be told, very cordially, to slither back into the soup of primordial slime from whence you crawled out from.

I wonder if they ever thought about it, that their prejudice towards homosexuals per se criminally overrides the 'crime' itself.

Links shameless stolen from Taste the Admin, who originally posted them in GUM.

Sometimes, I wonder what people will answer if they're asked a very simple question. "What's worse, homosexuality or homophobia?" I'm scared that more will choose the former rather than the latter.
