Nick Cassavetes Bizarre take on..........

It's sad that people are equating gay people's civil right to get married as the same thing as two siblings slapping skin.

By making that comparison without distinction, you are indirectly invalidating the legitimacy of legal gay marriage.

Is there really no difference in your minds between incest and gay marriage??

Should siblings be allowed to get married too??

This is the core point for those who claim that Gay Marriage is just the beginning, that if the mantra 'I want to marry the one I love' is taken as a universal one, it must apply to members of the same family, or, theoretically to a man and his dog. In fact, the law exists to prevent this: but note that while incest is illegal in the USA, marriage between first cousins is legal in some states. I think this has been a 'grey area' for both the law and various communities across the world, it depends on how 'close' you think first cousins are. Incidentally, though it may not be enforceable, Sodomy is still illegal in the state of Kansas and the state government there has resisted all attempts to repeal it, which must mean that, in theory if not in practice, it would be illegal for two homosexuals to get married AND to consummate that marriage.
