Religion and LGBT people

[downbeatplumb]

I'm not deflecting, I must know if you treat incestuous couples differently or not. Do tell.

You're not the first, and you won't be the last. You have two options.

1. "I support the right of any two consenting adults ..."
2. "I do not support the right to have incestuous relationships"

Simple, which is it? 1 or 2?

Actually I can see what he is doing, he is questioning your use of the word "any".

And it is an interesting question, incest has an increased chance of producing deformities and other mutations BUT then so has the coupling of certain unrelated people with genetic illnesses.

So the added question is would I support restricting these peoples rights to mate?

My gut feeling to the second is no but to incest yes.

However I am not convinced that there is a large swathe of people outside of Kansas that are keen to couple with their close relatives, but I am ready to be swayed by any relevant arguments.

I think that the gays have now made their case and I for one support their rights.
