Yes yes, there are hypothetical cases where you could imagine that an animal would have consented to sex but there is little way for the animal itself to confirm this to its potential human partner, and should consent be in question, the animal would not be able to communicate its views to a jury. And let's be honest, how do you see the power-balance in an animal-human relationship, and in what percentage of animal-human sexual relations do you think the animal's consent is seriously taken into consideration? Anything but a blanket ban is implausible.
Either way, I don't see how this is relevant to homosexuality.
edit - I do get your point, ideas of sexual normativity, but if your argument is that bestiality should be considered okay, I don't see how this disputes an argument that homosexuality should as well. If you're arguing that bestiality is not okay, it means nothing.
