According to classical Jewish law homosexuality and the beastiality are strictly forbidden and punishable by the death penalty of stoning. "It is taught in a baraita in accordance with the opinion of Rav: One who engages in homosexual intercourse with a male aged nine years and one day,or one who engages in intercourse with an animal, whether in a typical manner or in an atypical manner, i.e., anal intercourse, and similarly a woman who engages in intercourse with an animal, whether in a typical manner or in an atypical manner, is liable." (Sefariag.or translation)
Certainly the liberal Jewish streams like the Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist have become more accepting and welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community. We all have a long way to go to support this community especially during the current administration. I didn't have time to share with you from the RA responsas indicating this change concerning homosexuality. Perhaps I'll find the time in the near future.
I don't think there has been any change towards beastiality. I didn't know what I could add to the discussion that would be meaningful. When I was surfing the Internet I came upon Buddy Hackett's joke which he shared on the Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSFlu7bODYw . I hope you enjoy it.
