The headline isn't quite accurate, IMO. He just pointed out that if incest laws are only to protect relatives from having inbred offspring, they shouldn't apply to same-sex family members.

I don't see why anyone would give a shit if a father and son wanted to marry, as long as the son wasn't a minor. Same goes for a mother and daughter, obviously. I've never really understood the argument that gay marriage opens the door to marriages between a human and an animal; not even remotely similar, given that there is no way to determine consent in the case of an animal.

Understood. Though I personally do not think it appropriate or healthy for father and son, brother and brother, daughter nad mother, or any other combination of immediate family or extended to wed or be intimate. I just do not agree. I feel the line has to be drawn somewhere. I do not agree with this whole first cousins non sense either. To each their own I suppose, but I personally do not agree with it.
 
I see it differently, to each their own I suppose. I don't mind homosexuals marrying, but I think the whole family things is just.....taking it too far and possible tainting the sacred bond and celebration of marriage as it is traditionally. IMPO

You probably never had a mother-in-law. When you marry within the family you have one less headache to worry about.
 
all of a sudden people care about an animals consent. Does an animal consent to being housed as somebody's pet? Yet we got all these pet lovers. (I'd bet there's more beastiality than we realize among them). I wouldn't think homosexuality is any better, its a kink as far as I'm concerned. Don't care who marries or fucks who, I just don't want to hear about it when I'm trying to catch some world news. fuck off already. Why is strangers sexuality so interesting to others? :dunno:

Take "love" out of it. The second case before the Supreme Court was about taxes. A lesbian lady was suing to be recognized as a spouse. A spouse does not have to pay inheritance taxes, whereas anyone else would. So...if a son and father get "married" the son would be exempt from those taxes as the surviving spouse. So who is to say they cannot? Incest laws are to help keep down inbreeding. Father/son can't breed.
