I understand the logic of two relatives mating causing a higher likelihood of reproducing deformed and mentally challenged children, but same-sex couples can't reproduce. And the logic of the government telling you who you can marry and love should be able to apply to all sorts of love between two consenting adults, not just two adults that aren't related. Also, incest marriage and relationships have been acceptable in many societies and cultures for centuries, including America. And the reasoning that relatives marrying can errode the dynamics of a family does not make sense because people have been saying the same thing about same-sex couples, but many same-sex couples have proven that they can start a family better than many opposite-sex couples. So why wouldnt a same-sex incestuous couple be any different? It could be even a stronger familial bond because it was always a family relationship even before adopting children! Why is the government dictating what is taboo and isnt in someones personal life? For centuries, homosexuality and incest have fluctuated from taboo and not taboo in various cultures and civilizations.
Also, the "slippery slope" reasoning that opposite-sex incest couples would want to marry if same-sex incest couples are allowed makes no sense because people have been using the "slippery slope" rebuttal for same-sex marriages, but now gay marriage is allowed!
Someone help me understand this confusing law!
