That's ridiculous. The typical apocalyptic rhetoric about how nothing will be illegal anymore fails because every example given somehow violates someone else's right (i.e. pedophilia or rape) where consensual homosexuality between two adults does not.

Then answer me this one. So far no one has on your side.

My daughter turned 16. She is by our state's law a consenting adult. She and i agree to have consenual sex. Our right to privacy trumps the state's right to forbid us.

You're wrong. Trace answered that, but to recap, she is part of your family and as a father with authority over her, a sexual relationship with her is considered exploitation per se, to a criminal extent. Plus you're a sick man if you do that.

Got any other strawmen?

"My daughter turned 16. She is by our state's law a consenting adult. She and i agree to have consenual sex. Our right to privacy trumps the state's right to forbid us."

I'd argue that your daughter is still too young to consent, but that's beside the point. While incest between adults is against the law, such laws are only enforced with regard to marriage. I cannot remember a case where consenting adult incest has resulted in any trials or prison time in California, at least.

In most states, now, first cousins can marry. Adult sibling pseudo-marriages are quite common...you just dont know about them. Father-adult daughter relationships are quite rare, as are mother-adult son relationships.

We don't prosecute adults who engage in incestuous behavior. There's no real motivation to do so, so we don't bother with it.

Adult-child incest is another story altogether, and your example with a 16-year-old daughter is the reason we have incest laws that make it a crime. I advise against that activity.
