Delegate Mark Cole is in an idiot, and other political snafus
In the Virginia General Assembly, which previously passed the most restrictive gay marriage ban in the country, Senate Bill 700 would make permanent discrimination safeguards for gays and lesbians in state employment and extend them to local governments and school boards. Enter Delegate Mark Cole, total idiot, who explained, "Sexual orientation is a broad term. There are eight different sexual orientations, including pedophilia and bestiality. I think we'd be opening up Pandora's box and allowing judges to interpret what that means." Meanwhile Senator Brownback now says that he meant no offense to "homosexuals" when he used the word "fruits" in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. How exactly did he mean it then?
On the Democratic side of things, I do take issue with Florida gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis as well who noted, "I believe, as my grandfather did, that we are all equal in the eyes of God. What matters is on the inside." He then went on to explain that while he supports gay adoption, he's against gay marriage. Obviously what's on the inside only matters if it'll get you elected.

Bestiality is a sexual orientation? He's not just an idiot. He's an asshole.

I live in VA, this guy sucks. It just goes to show you that we still have a long way to go in our struggle to be as everyone else- free. Peace.

Pedophilia and bestiality is a sexual preference. Though I wouldn't even consider it a sexual orientation. It's simply a sexual Preference and a disturbingly sick one at that. Young children and animals are incapable of making these sort of decisions on their own-- because they obviously don't have a choice-- Moreless allowing adult humans to have "consenual" sex. In fact, it's rape rather than sexual orientation.
So, how in the world does this relate to homosexuality
