Be that as it may, I think he's too controversial a figure to be a good choice, and Bush should have known that.

It's NOT a health risk! There's no chance that it will harm society. If you engage in any kind of unnatural sexual act, it's your choice. Nobody should be penalized for it. It's the same if you get a piercing. If you go in for a tongue piercing, you know how risky it is, but it's your choice whether or not to do it. And sex isn't much of a public matter in this respect anyway. The only way it is is with STDs.

That's what it is, technically, but I'm saying that that's completely irrelevant, because unnatural acts keep humanity healthy and happy.

It's not unnatural unless you're using electrical equipment.

Otherwise, it's natural.

That's bad for the goat and it's the same thing as rape. Animals can't give consent. Therefore, I do have qualms.

The urge is 100% natural. No question there. It's there from birth and driven by hormones all the same as heterosexual attraction. Whether or not the sexual acts are natural is debatable, but there's nothing wrong with it. Almost nobody gets angry over head, and that's quite obviously an unnatural act, and I'm not even making a distinction between heterosexual and homosexual sex. Sex is sex. Whatever you want, go for it as long as it's consentual. I have no moral qualms with that.

Animals can't give consent to be kidnapped and used as pets. Or killed and eaten.

Do you have qualms about that too?

Entirely separate issues.
While we as a society do subjugate people to loss of freedom after due process, we never consider forcing them to sex against their will.

And as for killing and eating animals, that is required to be done so humanely and without torture. Subjugating them to forced sex would clearly fall under torture.

Hopefully you can understand the difference between sex and the other issues you mention?
