Of course it makes it moot. If a justification for criminalizing incest is the increased risk of birth abnormalities, then homosexual incest should be considered less of a crime than heterosexual incest. It isn't.

Nope. Doesn't make it moot because genetic risk isn't the only factor that makes incest unadvisable on several levels. But keep trying.
Genetic risk is a completely valid reason to avoid and potentially criminalize incest and you haven't proven otherwise.
That'd be like saying
Safety glasses protect your eyes
But in one particular instance of repairing a machine, your eyes are not at risk
Therefore "safety glasses protect your eyes" is moot.
No, it isn't moot. There simply happen to be instances where safety glasses don't provide protection
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
