England and Wales same sex marriage legal from 29th March (TSR's view)

While we're at it, why don't we legalise inter-family marriage. Why's that not legal? Why can't I be married to two people at the same time!! No wait, I actually want to marry my cat and have sexual relations with it. Will that be legalised too?

Well considering a cat cannot consent, you would then be raping it, so therefore no?

haha cat rape! The point remains however, how far will we go until it gets to legalising beastiality? Same sex marriage is a very slippery slope...

How do you know that animals cannot consent? Because it cannot consent verbally?

We would never legalize bestiality..... like said a animal could never consent so you would just be abusing it by doing anything to it.

How is two gay men getting married in anyway similar to performing sexual acts on a animal?

Hey Guys;

Well, as most of us know, it will become legal in England and Wales for couples of the same sex to marry each other. I would like to know people's views on this before it is supposed to become law on 29th March 2014 and how you feel it will impact England and Wales society (if at all) in the future?
Scotland's final vote on the subject will be held on the 4th February and thus is still subject to change.

Do you believe this will help promote tolerance/equality or do you have other views on the subject or do you think this is a non-issue which didn't need addressing (or do you have other views)?

In short, this is a thread to see people's views on the subject before it becomes law.

You missed the point. If same sex marriage is about our rights to chose to do whatever we want, then what about someone wants to have sex with a family member or an animal or the right to have multiple wives or to masturbate in public or to eat their own sperm or to be a cannibal.

We can't blindly bend over (no pun intended) to these erosions in our moral values because if we do, then you will have no morals left after a while

1.) Using the slippery slope argument is the philosophical equivalent of going full retard.

2.) 'haha cat rape' - did you forget to take your special medicine?

3.) *bestiality

Well the majority of the things you just named are in some way harmful.

Bestiality harms animals.
Cannibals harm humans.
Incest is proven to mean the baby will have a higher chance of having a deformity
Masturbating in public blatantly disturbs others, and probably making sex offences skyrocket

Gay marriage doesn't harm anybody. The only thing it means is that a child wont be brought into the world directly between the pair, but then plenty of heterosexual couples don't have children either and so that cannot be a reason against it.

The only thing you listed which has a point is being able to marry more than one person, because as long as everyone consents it doesn't appear to be harming anyone.
