The moral issue regarding incest is the likelihood of issues with potential offspring. If your genes are too similar, you don't stand a good chance of getting Joffreys and Tommens, but rather Tyrions.
So if there is an increased likelihood of having handicapped children, it should be outlawed. Also, when there is a generational gap (fathers/daughters), there is generally a power differential that is being taken advantage of.
I do not see a real issue if two brothers or sisters of age entered into a homosexual relationship. Even if it does eek me out heavily (the incest part.) No one is getting victimized for the most part. Luckily enough there is a biological mechanism in place that normally prevents this, but obviously there are exceptions to every rule.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
