Just for the sake of argument if gay marriage is now legal (it is in several states and the Supreme Court is deciding about it's status through out the nation) why should an incestious relationship/marriage be illegal?

But think of the money saved on Xmas gifts
1 gift will cover both the boyfriend and the father.
1 gift will girlfriend and the daughter.
1 gift will cover both father and grandfather.

Wait...what??? You're REALLY comparing homosexual relationships to incestuous relationships???

Are you really THAT dense or are you just trying to rile people up??? :24:

Gay people can have sex, too...maybe we should legalize rape next.

I think what he is trying to say is both used to be illegal...If we are going to change the laws to two consenting adults needing to be the only requirement..then why not apply that across the board equally....or not do either.

Incest was permitted and in fact encouraged for Royalty for a long time until they realized it cause health issues, and hence why it was banned..

Children born of close incestous unions have greatly increased risk of congenital disorders, death and disability at least in part due to genetic diseases caused by the inbreeding.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incest

Gay Marriage ( homosexuality ) has not proven to cause any increased risk of congenital disorders, death and disability due to the two partners being together..

The crime isnt having the baby..its the act itself.
I am not supporting it...am just arguing the point

Interracial Marriage was illegal yet was a man and a woman..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage

Does it really matter when it was made legal or illegal.

The point is more why they make things legal and not and again that is the focus. Homosexuality was practised a long time before laws so in essence it was legal far before it was illegal..

Homosexuality dates as far back in history as mankind.

And so was incest....so it was legal before it was illegal
Why is it now a crime?
Not supporting it...just want to know why it should be a crime.
As you say...Homosexuality was practiced before it became a crime
Inter racial relationships the same...Now both legal.

That only apply towards having a baby...and can you show health problems in all incest babies?

Worked for years for royalty...and still woks in Arkansas.
Again I am not supporting it..just arguing the point..with the two consenting adults argument.

This may be of interest....incest is becoming legal in many nations again
Go through the list...looks like about half.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_incest

So there is a trend...What once was legal became illegal..now becoming legal again...Just like homosexuality.

Incest has the possibility to produce detrimental outcomes, that is why it is illegal...homosexuality has no possibility to produce said outcomes.

Largest risk of HIV transfer rob.
Incest/
It is legal in many nations rob.
And again we are only talking about having a baby..why should it be illegal if a baby isnt involved.
Most incest babies are actually healthy...both parents have to carry a common genetic deficiency to pass it to the child.....In other words you can breed out a deficiency...but inbreeding doesn't cause one per say.
How about sister and sister?...No chance of a baby.
Again..not supporting but just arguing the point.
