A teenager has revealed in an interview that she plans to marry her father and have children after dating for two years.
The unnamed 18-year-old revealed in an interview with New York Magazine her romantic relationship of almost two years with her biological father after being estranged from him for 12 years.
In the interview, the girl also said the two also plan on having children.
The teenager said her father reached out to her on Facebook when she was in high school and soon after, she went to stay with him for a week.
After the week together, the 18-year-old said they had sex and then started dating.
“Everyone on my mom’s side of the family sees us as father and daughter,” she told the magazine. “Those who know that he’s my dad, and that we are engaged, include my father’s parents (they can see we are happy together and they can’t wait for us to have babies — they treat us just like any other couple), the woman we live with, and my best friend.”
As for the wedding plans:
You’re engaged?
I’m planning on a full-on wedding but it won’t be legally registered. And personally, I don’t believe you need a piece of paper to prove that you want to be with the person you love. When you get married, you are signing part of yourself over to somebody. We’ll tell everybody that we got our marriage license, but they don’t have to see it. One of our friends will act as the celebrant.Will you have a wedding? Do you have it planned?
Yes. I want it to represent our uniqueness, so we aren’t doing a white wedding. The color scheme is black and purple, and we are both going to wear Converse tennis shoes. He’s wearing jeans and a nice dress shirt. He says he’s not wearing a bow tie, but it’s my wedding and I am saying that he is. My best friend will be my maid of honor and she’ll be dressed in purple. My grandmother and grandfather — my fiancé’s parents — are going to attend and my grandpa will give me away. The tables will have bouquets of trees without leaves to represent our marriage, which will be like a growing tree. My dress will be black.
And there’s this:
How much time do you spend together?
The only thing we do independently is go to work and school. He’s a maintenance man and I am studying cosmetology, but other than that we are together 24/7.What’s your response to people who just can’t get their head around your relationship?
I just don’t understand why I’m judged for being happy. We are two adults who brought each other out of dark places. People need to research incest and GSA because they don’t get it and I don’t think they understand how often it happens.
Sick.
The New York Magazine piece, by Alexa Tsoulis-Reay pretends to look at this phenomenon (GSA, or “Genetic Sexual Attraction”) from a scientific perspective—as if holding this relationship with a pair of tweezers and sliding it under a microscope—but the overall effect is, frankly, stomach-turning. It exists in a moral vacuum. Aside from describing the attraction and resulting relationship as “taboo,” there’s no effort to examine this from a moral or religious perspective, no questions about just why this is (and has been, for centuries, “taboo”), no indication that the girl or her father have even the slightest sense that this is fundamentally wrong—and if not, why not. And there are no outside voices, helping to put this in any context.
How long until these kinds of relationships seek to be accepted and gain legal recognition?
Oh wait: it’s already happening.
Shouldn’t the guy be in jail for child molestation?
Apparently there is no penalty against it in New Jersey, which is where they say they are doing it.
At least she didn’t announce to marry her mother...
Who’s going to give the bride away?
Who is it to say they are wrong. “Ye without sin”
* slap *
Next you will be able to marry animals, things (like love dolls, vibrators, or cars), places (lets marry NYC?), or multiple people. Rules, laws of civilization don't matter when it comes to “love.”
I hear that in the future ... people will marry robots ... :-) ...
THAT'S A GOOD BOY! Who gets a Scooby Snack? YOU DO!
Who are we to judge an alternative lifestyle????????????
Congratulations, Mrs. Daddyhumper, it’s another flipper-baby!
Freud isn’t sounding so crazy given cases like this.
She was 16 the first time they Ummm you know. That is not legal in any state. He should be in prison.
“Who is it to say they are wrong. ‘Ye without sin’”
Do you even know what you are quoting? Christ did NOT say the adulterous woman they brought to Him did not sin. In fact, He told her to go and sin no more.
He taught not to condemn. That does not mean not to recognize and reprove sin.
So, who is to say? God. That’s who.
Leviticus 18:17, 24-30
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.
When a man has sexual relations with any woman and also her daughter or granddaughter, it is incest, whether it is biologically his daughter or not. The passage above makes it clear that this moral boundary applies to ALL nations. It is not merely a ceremonial regulation for Israel.
I should have added a sarc tab.
OK. Normally, I try really hard to post a polite, intelligent-as-I-can-muster-up answer. However, EEEeeewwwwww!!! Sorry, nothing else seems to come to mind. Pray for these people, they are sick!
the slippery slope, once gay marriage was approved, there is no going back and the door is open for all other types of so-called marriage, including marrying your father or your dog or your mother, etc.
yeah if it was real...I’m not sure I buy into it though -
