sexual orientation issue

[Anymouse]

People with mental disabilities, . . . , none of those is legally allowed to give consent, . . .

I have a documented mental disability (besides my epilepsy), which was part of what forced me out of the military after seventeen years. Spent some fun times in places where they lock the doors from the inside.

I assure you (at least in this country) persons with such "disabilities" can and do give legal consent to all kinds of things, including sex and marriage. We can even get drivers' licences. And vote.

(Owning a gun is tricky, but we can run for office too. And if enough of us do the latter, perhaps we can reverse the designation "mentally ill" to the Tea Partiers. There are more of us.)

Concerning people naturally not wanting adult incestuous relationships (where "incest" is still a matter of opinion, not biology), if that were truly the case, governments and churches would not write laws against it. They have plenty other things to worry about, like churches telling you who you can associate with and legislators voting themselves pay raises.
