One of the strongest arguments against consensual adult incest is that incestuous unions could result in children with genetic defects, but since that concern wouldn’t apply to same-sex couples, an Irish political leader has argued that gay cousins should be allowed to “marry.” And that only begs the next obvious question: Why not gay brothers or gay sisters?
As reported in the Irish Times, Independent Senator David Norris, himself gay, “has said that gay cousins should be allowed to marry each other following the same-sex marriage referendum.”
“It would not take a feather out of me if two cousins married each other,’’ Mr. Norris said. “What is the problem with that?’’
So, no sooner does the Irish Legislature officially announce the legalizing of same-sex “marriage” than an Irish Senator calls for gay cousins to be allowed to marry.
Yes, “Mr. Norris said the regulations covering cousins marrying were introduced to protect the genetic pool, but that this would remain relatively untroubled by same-sex marriage.”
Then wouldn’t the same line of reasoning apply to gay brothers or sisters who wanted to “marry?”
And if the taboos against homosexual “marriage” are now considered outdated and intolerant, why can’t the same thing be said about the taboos against adult incest?

Why can’t two non-gay brothers marry, for that matter - as a tax strategy, for example.
The horse is out of the barn and anything goes. Same sex marriage supporters have no principle they can point to and say “we can’t have this”. I can foresee a father “marrying” his son and thereby avoiding inheritance taxes.
Or a Grandpa marry his granddaughter so that she gets social security survivors benefits for 50 years.
And here I thought after the Obama Gang and Pope Francis, nothing more could ever shock me.
I saw an article not long ago in that line of thought...
Disturbing, selling your soul for what??
She still has to wait until 60 to get widow SS pension. You think they give it right away? Nope. If your spouse dies at 40, you have to wait at least 20 years to collect. You get 2 years early that is it. Social Security used to be a good deal for widows but it has become a very stingy program.
A brother and a sister. A boy and his dog. A revolutionary and his manifesto. How about a biker and his Harley? A man and two women. Two women and three men. A man and his robot. A man and his blow up doll. A man and his six year old niece. A boy and a pound of calves liver. If there are no limits, there are no limits.
I guess there are just too many who have forgotten the words of God...one man, one woman.
I predicted years ago, on this board that in the near future a very wealth man would attempt to marry a son or daughter in order to avoid probate and inheritance taxes. There is no longer a ,moral or ethical reason to stop such marriages.
Finally we have found a way to eliminate the death tax!
Anything other than man/wife is ofensive to the very nature of what marriage is.
The definition is not any two people in lust and/or wanting legal benefits and to pay the marriage penalty.
Inmates runing all stratas of the asylum. Cwii cant come fast enough the way i feel today.
Ask and ye shall receive...

Yep, one isn’t really all that much sillier than the other, oh, now gays are going to get all “conservative” and deny others?
Mental illness on display.
Why not...it shouldn’t affect their kids.
I just wish these 24/7 debauchery wouldn't take so much of my paycheck..
"Pre-existing conditions" = QueerCare
Yep. Predicted by Paul VI.
