Homosexuality and bestiality are the same only in that they are both a deviation from the sexual behavior practiced by most people. And I am guessing that it is a fact that most people, of whatever orientation, do not engage in bestiality. I believe sexual play that includes anal penetration is incorrectly identified as being synonymous with homosexuality. Lots of men, gay and straight, enjoy anal stimulation.
My previous post in this thread was an attempt to demonstrate an absurdity by being absurd. People often use an argument to support their position that goes something like this:
Bob says that since Joe has never experienced X, Joe has no right to discuss X. Likewise, Bob resorts to the cultural relativism argument, saying Joe "cannot judge" X because X is part of Bob's culture and Joe is not within that culture. Also, Bob will resort to name-calling ("Equinophobe!"), which is no argument at all. His is an attempt to redirect the discussion to the mental state of Joe, but it does nothing to advance the debate.
