There is a war on between Good and Evil, and it is heating up. There are many reasons why homosexual acts are wrong that can be enumerated, if the person you're talking to is not religious and doesn't believe in moral absolutes. The "taboo" against incest (aside from scriptural condemnation) is "well, recessive genetic traits can manifest that are harmful". That is an extremely weak argument because if someone is going to commit incest, they would likely have no problem with abortion. Or not everyone is fertile, or two blood relatives of the same sex could commit incest, etc.
So, why is incest wrong?
Because every monotheist religion (and Buddhism as well) teaches that sex is for marriage. Beginning, middle and end of it. Marriage and children. Once a culture decides that sex is perfectly fine before marriage, outside of marriage, without marriage; then between two people of the same sex, then orgies and group grope, and then of course you have to add contraception and abortion - then you have the perfect recipe for destruction of human civilization.
Human civilization is based on intact families. Sex is a powerful urge that all healthy human beings experience. It is like fire. Fire can cook your meal, heat your house, forge your metal. It can also kill, burn and injure, destroy forests and houses, and entire cities. It's all in how it is used. What do we teach children about fire? "Don't touch!" "Be careful! Don't play with matches!" Only when the child is mature enough to be aware of the danger potential of fire can they be trusted with matches or the gas stove.
The fire of sex desire is even more destructive than the flames of fire that burn wood and fuel.
We now are seeing the results of "free sex" - one thing leads to another, since all rules are now evil - here on FR people who stand up for traditional - aka "real" - morality are called prudes, Taliban, wanting to pin red "A"s on people, closet homosexuals, etc. Intense vitriol here on FR is thrown at people standing up for moral absolutes. Just the other day a porn supporter (now thankfully banned) said something like "so what if there are victims from the porn industry. That's the price we pay for freedom."
Here's what Edmund Burke says about freedom:
"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites--in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;--in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;--in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
-- Edmund Burke
If the authority of God is thrown away, civilization is doomed. This is the war we're in.
