The most disturbing argument against sexual diversity compares consensual same-sex behaviour to raping children or animals. This betrays the seeds of predatory sexual attitudes, writes
Siya Khumalo.
In 2021, we still have people online, behind pulpits and on radio, comparing consensual sex to bestiality and child abuse.
Let's imagine they're concerned about one or more of these things:
The absence of consent between a human and an animal during bestiality or between an adult and a child during statutory rape somehow implies there's something wrong with same-sex couples.
There's some essential sexual incompatibility between people of the same sex, between humans and animals as well as between adults and children.
