One of the most emailed stories in the Beebs today is about a man in Sudan who has started a family with a goat, involuntarily, it seems.

Its the kids I feel sorry for.
Sadly, the fundies will point to this as the inevitable slippery-slope result of allowing same-sex marriage. Don't try to see the logic; it will hurt your head.
I don't know if there was problem with translation. did you notice that report said "The main used the goat as his wife" and not "he treated it as his wife"
