DOMINO THEORY

Anonymous Lefty is all a'dither because of this from Andrew Bolt's online forum:

Comment: Hullo Andrew.The topic is "Where is Society heading?" Mellanie Phillips in her essay she did 10 years ago points out in latest blog thatit is utterly logical for polygamy rights to follow gay rights.As she states, a traditional marriage is defined as the union of (1) two people of (2) opposite gender- and if as gay marriage advocates insist the gender requirement is nothing but prejudice,exclusion,and an arbitrary denial of one's autonomous choices in love.then the first requirement i.e. the number restriction(two and two only) is simply arbitrary'discriminatory, denial of individual choice! This line of argument makes gay activists furious So now anything goes,and our societyis steadily going as a result.

Polyandry,polyamory,polymorphia,?-- What's next in line? paedophilia? necrophilia? bestiality? I am inclined to think that she has a point, Cheers. fay.

Andrew replies: So do I.

Says Anonymous Lefty, totally missing the point:

"So do I." Andrew thinks she has a point. That homosexuality is akin to paedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality? Really?

The point of the comment is that, in the opinion of the commenter, to provide legal sanction to gay marriage is to open the door to the others. How does that make homosexuality akin to paedophilia?

Anyway, a long, amusing, Anonymous Lefty rant then follows.
