First cousin is better than same-sex although it isn't all too great to begin with...

Oops, I voted for First Cousin marriage, but I don't consider it evil, either, just genetically very iffy for the offspring.

That assumes someone that wants to get married is someone that wants to have children.

I'm sure there are many people married to someone they are related to and don't even no it. I don't think you can say the same about same sex tho. LOL

You've probably seen this before:



This interests me, as we have many who oppose same sex marriage, but don't seem to protest about first cousins being permitted to wed.

Because first cousin marriage in the US is legal in many more states than same sex marriage, I must assume that first cousin marriage is considered more socially acceptable.

Why this is I have no idea. So I shall ask this question: Which is more morally acceptable: Same sex marriage, or marriage between first cousins?

Please explain why - it would be great if you could give reasons as to why we should be more accepting of cousin marriage than same sex marriage.
jeez..Kentucky and West Virginia prohibit first cousin marraige? But its legal in New York and California?
The world is upside down

I think same sex marriage is fine..I couldnt care less who marries who...making it illegal is like living in a dictatorship, I have my opinions about homosexuality, but I have no right telling them who they can and cant marry.
But making first cousin marriage illegal in Kentucky and West Virginia...now thats just wrong..who else they gonna marry?
Silly Mak..youre actually comparing a man and a woman that are related getting married to two men getting married to each other? lol
when a debate has a brick wall there is always an answer...the brick wall here is that if all cousins marry ...the human race goes on...if every man marries a man...the human race ends...unless homesexuals are willing to begin procreating at a certain point to extend the life of the human race..but that would make them bisexual..not homosexual.
By the way...Do homosexuals think its unnatural for them to procreate? Just wondering. Because If theyre willing to procreate then they arent homosexual, theyre bisexual. But if theyre naturally unable to procreate because theyre homosexual..then how is it natural when all species are designed to procreate? Why do homosexuals have semen and eggs? It all confuses me. Not sure if homosexuals believe its a sexual choice or they believe they were born homosexual.
K.. I hope I didnt offend anyone lol.

America is weird. You can marry your cousin in one state and it isn't recognised in the other states. OMG they should go to court and get their rights - and why dont the people vote? Or did they vote and they chose to allow this 'incest'?

And Lazza...I want to procreate but not with a man (except JBJ). I'll just walk into one of them fancy sperm banks and buy myself a baby.

And also...why do infertile people still have sperm and eggs? The sperm is dead but they still have it...see you can see it from the other side, too.

The whole state to state thing is what America is all about Mak...we have far more individual state laws than federal or national laws...In Australia almost every law covers all states..not sure why you guys even have states..but thats neither here nor there lol...
In America its almost like each state is its own nation..overseen by the imperial Washington DC elitists lol...Laws vary radically from state to state because each state is an individual entity of sorts. Its weird yeah, but its actually amazing that such different people in all the states agree to be part of one union.


Infertility isnt natural though Mak...if we were all infertile there would be no humans. So the fact that infertile people have sperm and eggs is just an example of a malfunction in nature.
I think with homosexuals it all depends on whether or not they were born gay or chose to be gay later in life. I have no idea how it happens...but I would think if youre born with sperm or a uterus and eggs, but were also born homosexual, maybe its also a malfunction in nature...but whatever it is, homosexuals should be accepted like any other human...we all have issues....none of us need to be shunned or chastised by society. Why dont we keep two crazy people from marrying? Or two people with down syndrome? Homosexuals are just as human as anyone else. But keep em outa my neighborhood!! LOL just kidding
