This is how I see it. Homosexual relationships are the result of consensual adults entering into an agreed upon relationships that usually includes emotional and physical intimacy.
Children (legal age of consent varies all over the world) lack the sexual maturity to allow consent, therefore pedophilia is illegal and taboo.
Animals are unable to explicitly consent to sexual relations with human beings. Therefore bestiality/zoophilia is illegal and considered taboo.
Terrorism is not a form of sexuality. Although terrorism involves harassment, assault, injury and harm without consent to groups of people or individuals. Therefore terrorism is illegal and generally not a good thing.
Do you see a pattern?
The dividing line is consent. No one should be forced to do anything without understanding the effects of what they're consenting to. Adults are capable of this understanding. Animals and children are not.
