And then there's really bonkers

New Delhi) India's Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear a petition from a Hindu astrologer who is seeking to annul a recent landmark ruling that decriminalized gay sex.

In his petition, Sushil Kumar Kaushal said "even animals don't indulge in such activities," adding that allowing gay sex would help spread HIV/AIDS.

The latest development indicated that despite a recent Delhi High Court ruling, gays in India still face a long battle to gain acceptance - social and legal - in this deeply conservative country where even heterosexual sex is talked about in hushed tones.

"If such abnormality is permitted, then tomorrow people might seek permission for having sex with animals," Kaushal said

A lot of the anti-gay religious types seem to have a worrying obsession with sex with animals.

Yet "not even animals indulge such practices". Which reveals a worrying ignorance about how animals procreate.

I think the last four words are unnecessary.

I suppose it could be a spectacularly dyslexic spelling of zoophilia.

Hindu astrologers are terribly important in India, something on par with economists in the Western sphere. Nothing is undertaken without consulting an astrologer, above all marriages.

I would imagine that astrologers there would be out of business were humans to congregate with their fellow animals. It would entail devising charts for those species.

Whatever, it could be a new business venture. Drawing up compatability charts for one's favourite gander or lamb before getting serious.

Fox News Host: Americans "Keep Marrying Other Species" (VIDEO)
OH NOES! What happened on Fox and Friends today, people? According to Gawker, the bright and shiny lights have once again dazzled Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade (the Brown-Haired Guy) into pure befuddlement, and this subsequently caused a series of idiot words to pour forth from his cakehole.
