somewhere way off to one side is
the whole sheep dealie <big grin>.


Actually, if you take off the big grin for a moment, that does raise the interesting point of whether those who believe that homosexuals should be free of all societal discrimination would demand the same tolerance for other non-heterosexual sexual orientations?

Right now, for example, even viewing child pornography is illegal. And I know of nobody who has even tried to get a license for a sheep bar. (And don't tell me it's wrong because it's cruel to the animal unless a)you know somehow that the animal really doesn't like it, and b) you are a total vegetarian who refuses to wear any leather and favors a total ban on all animal experiments, all hunting and fishing, rodeos, and ownership of pets. I would hypothesize, though without any personal experience to back it up, that those things are all as likely to be cruel to animals as using them sexually.)
