It is my position also. I think if a person wishes to have sex with animals or with members of their sex, however many, they ought to be free to do so. Let them corrupt themselves. It is not my job to stop them.

But they ought to have not even the slightest right to use law to force social acknowledgement of these inhuman relationships. Their rights should come to them as a result of their being human as individuals. They cannot logically parlay acknowledgment of their individual humanity into a general acknowledgment of their non-human behavior.

Unfortunately this is exactly the logical sleight of hand they perform-- to the detriment of the very thing upon which society is based. To be sure, society is not based upon individuals because no individual is based upon his own biological contributions (and therefore no individual can of himself biologically promote society). Individuals are based upon coupling, always, without fail, between exactly one man and exactly one woman. Society is therefore based upon this specific type of coupling - and none else.
