Has the man ever commented on it? Surely his campaign is trying to solve his little problem. I'd use Google to find a quote from Rick but, well, you know...

As an experiment in language, it'll be interesting to see if the term sticks (no pun intended).

wow, that's nasty

His daughter said it makes her sad that people can be so mean. And I feel sorry for his family, but it certainly wasn't nice on his part to liken homosexuality to incest, beastiality and pedo.

He could have chosen his words more carefully, but the basic point is that they're all forms of deviant behavior. And requiring legal equality for one, by definition, makes it easier to require legal equality for another.

one of those things is not like the others. Don't want to have sex with another consenting man/woman? Don't do it.

Yeah, beastiality is a little different.

He blamed it on gays and political opponents.

Dan Savage has been drinking for free off that for years.

The legal equality is based on all parties being consenting adults.
How would you have two consenting adults for incest, pedo or bestiality?
Now if you want to define what the legal age is for each beast and how you identify consent, then go for it.

Same as you have two consenting adults for non-incest.

If two guys can have sex, why the problem with consenting adult siblings?

I know of 2 first cousins who got married in VA a few years ago. They do not want children because of potential medical issues.

We have that problem running rampant in America. I see the need to have immediate laws make sex between adults illegal.

The internet is full of all kinds of interesting ideas, such as the idea that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU. I don't know if it's true or not, but the whole university was out of control during the time he was there.
