Yes, kind of hard to avoid when you only have 8 people from the same family alive after the flood.

Correct. 12.5% would be SECOND cousins.
My wife and I are something like 11th cousins, common ancestor is Rev. John Crandall, a contemporary of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island.
I haven't calculated, but I think that would give us about as much common DNA as Elizabeth Warren has Native American blood.

Actually WV doesn’t allow first cousin marriage and “progressive” Vermont does. A trip would be a whole lot cheaper than the legal costs.

If the same set of Supreme Court judges that approved/demanded “same-sexs” marriage, were to not approve a petition from this 1st-counsins couple - who I am sure will make some of the same legal arguments as was made for “same-sex” marriage, they would rightly be branded as giant intellectual hypocrites.
It was always quite evident that the logic for approving “same-sex” marriage was going to produce an easy slide down the slippery slope of having to approve legal marriage for any two adult persons no matter what, even including siblings and parent-child relationships, and multiple spouse marriages.

My wife is from a vastly different gene pool. My brother married someone very similar in heritage and their children have horrific allergies from both parents. I had similar allergies to my brother but my wife's genes dominated here and the kids, now adults, have no sign of allergies. They also tan bronze, although they were raised to avoid prolonged exposure, which is a first in a long line of our family.
Just sayin' for the younger of our readers.

Here is the map and key:
- Dark blue = Always legal
- Light blue = legal under most circumstances
- Pink = Legal under exceptional circumstances (the most common being that the couple is past reproductive age).
- Red = Illegal
- Maroon = illegal and criminal offense.

Indeed, Genesis has cousins marrying each other all over the place. God made no prohibitions on marriage to relatives until much later.

If they were both men would it be legal since they can’t have babies?

Yep - there’s a reason tribes would seek mates from other tribes...used to hunt in the foothills of southern NY (around Angelica) and met some of the locals who stayed withing some close family ties for mates....reminded me of poor British Royalty...
Like the hillbillies said to one of their own when he said he was getting married and the girl was a virgin to boot, “Boy, if’n she ain’t good ‘nuff fer her own kin, she caint be good ‘nuff for you.”
