Big difference. Children do not have the mental or physical development to stop sexual advance by adults. Homosexuality, on the other hand, is consenting between two adults.

Not really, many children 8-9 and up possess the minimum mental capacity for consent needed to be an emancipated individual, usually 70-75 IQ depending on the state. The only real reason they can’t consent is arbitrary law. The physical development question is irrelevant, there are plenty of adults who can be over-powered by children.

beastiality People really do this?

Yep! What about their rights? What about the rights of incestuals? You Liberaltarians that protect one perversion over another are hypocrites.

Well, I think that if the state sets an arbitrary age for emancipation it should apply for EVERYTHING. Driving, alchohol use, voting, consensual sex, crime. Either someone is old and mature enough to understand his/her actions or they are not.

With regards to bestiality, animals are property, aren't they? And if two adults who are related want to "do it" and they consent shouldn't they be allowed to?

(I'm playing devil's advocate here to some degree. I personally believe both are pretty nasty.) I wrestle with questions like this because I really have no problem with adults consenting to sex as long as they do it behind closed doors. S&M, gays, swing parties, etc. really don't bug me. Of course there are extremes in this sort of thing; and they creep me out.

Certain people are going to be physically attracted to deviant sex. What do you think would be better. It being "illegal" but going on behind closed doors anyway (like in Victorian times) or out in the open for everyone to see?

Liberaltarians <--- You spelled that wrong acidentally, right?

Also, modern Libertarians are by no means similar to the founding fathers. They really would blanch at some of the things modern libertarians espouse.
