When zoophiles say "zoo," I kinda get the impression they mean "zoo like *me*."
Truth is, zoo ain't just one thing. How *I* am zoo differs from how *you* are... zoo (without getting into that whole discussion about what's just "bestiality" and what's "zoo"). Holy crap! We are one hugely diverse crowd!
The first step to getting along is realizing that completely "moral," "healthy," "NORMAL" people like "me" can have such a variety of opinions -- all equal to, and as respectable as, our own.
Know what hobbled the gay movement? -- The variety of "gayness" among gay folk. No one seemed content to admit that there's this huge continuum of human sexual orientations. You're either bi, gay or straight. Or... they've extended LGBT to LGBTQ and XXXXXX, ad nauseam. People love to have a smaller, more manageable set of "being-isms" that help them pigeon-hole other people instead of just taking folk at their word: "I am... this. Not your label, but this."
It caused a lot of divisive conversations...er, "fights." "Bi? Fuck me, you're just a horny sumabitch who'll fuck anything. Me? Now me, *I'm* a true gay person. I never consider women. You're married to a woman. Or, you sometimes have romantic relationships with women. Or... you *fantasize* about women. You're not gay. And Bi don't qualify."
And then even "bi" -- "I'd marry a man or a woman, whomever I fall in love with." But another, "I wouldn't kiss a man, ew, but I'd suck his dick."
Who is gay? Who is bi?
-- Who is ... "zoo"?
It's a continuum of varying degree. Let's not ever let variety among us be a cause for division. When I came to Zooville, it immediately was inviting to me. It showed inclusivity of the entire gamut of human-animal sexual interaction possibilities. It was "real." This is the way we are, for "real." And I really, REALLY love that all of us are represented here, welcome just as we are.
Some are getting pounded by their dog five times a day. Others are just oral zoos. Others don't have an animal partner right now, but are hoping "someday." Some are just exploring. Some are just living vicariously through the discussions of other zoos. Some are married to their partners. Some hit on a pet left in their care whom they've got a secret relationship with. Some hit on the stray in the alley. Some are here pining away for a human partner who is also into zoo; some want nothing to do with humans at all. Some are looking to own their own animals; some consider "owning" an animal an immoral concept. Some owners share their pets, some would NEVER do that! It's all... zoo.
What *I* do is maybe way, way different than what other zoos want to do, or do, or have done. But... embrace diversity!
The only "zooier than thou" claim in here should be left up to the podcast. (Haven't checked out the podcast yet? Oh man, you're missing out!)
