The PIB argument

   Yesterday we got back into the swing of things, we were discussing an article that addressed the "Homosexuality and PIB argument" P is polygamy, I is incest and B is bestiality. This article was written by a younger professor who did not agree with previous articles that lumped homosexuals in with PIB's. Other articles had said things along the lines of, if you think that homosexuality is natural then you will be caught in a slippery slope and think that polygamy, incest, and bestiality are natural.
Well this professor did not agree with this statement so he wrote a 30 page article on the differences between homosexuality and PIB... which I then wrote a critical essay on and ripped him apart haha. Anyways, this one girl in the class had so many questions about the Canadian laws concerning PIB, since it is now legal for homosexuals to be legally married in Canada she wanted to know what we were doing about the other ones.
Some interesting facts about Canada:
- Polygamy is legal in Canada, or so we think? the law defines polygamy as "one man having several wives", it doesn't even include women?! Wow... how long has it been since this was written? Polyandry is when a woman has multiple husbands, and polygaNy is when one man has several wives. PolygaMy is the overall term for multiple spouses.
- Polygamy is legal in Saskatchewan (GROSS)
- The law defines incest as having sexual relations with your immediate family (parents, grandparents, or siblings) it does NOT mention cousins...
I left class feeling quite perturbed.
Overall this wasn't a very good class, but I hope you can have a giggle at the outdated laws in Canada.
