My Modest Proposal (If homosexual marriage, then why not incest?)

Gay couples all across North America are getting married. What a great symbol of tolerance.

In the name of that same tolerance, however, I believe we should go further and allow brothers and sisters to marry. In other words, incest should be not only allowed but recognized and affirmed by the state.

If you're not tolerant of this, quite clearly you should not be tolerated. Those of you who are shocked at first glance should take some time to consider what I'm saying.

Remember, there were at one time frightened and reactionary people who objected to marriage between homosexuals.

Sometimes progress can leave some wounded souls in its midst. That doesn't mean we can stand still.

When we come down to the core of this, it's about love. And when love is involved, nothing else really matters. Love is divine, love is all, love is everything. The love I have for my dog, for my favourite sports team, for my favourite food. If a brother and sister genuinely love one another, who are we to say they cannot be married?

Imagine the pain of Jane and John, in love since childhood. Then a thoughtless and cruel society tells them that because of some archaic tradition they should not be allowed to be happy. Jane's and John's feelings come first. If the majority is in some way offended, it is the majority that has to look within and adapt.

History is on my side on this one. Ancient cultures routinely encouraged incest and, indeed, used it to preserve aristocratic clans. It was only that hateful and outdated book known as the Bible that forbade such activities, and we all know that nobody takes Judeo-Christian values seriously any longer. Thank God. No, forget that. Thank my magic crystal.

Hey, why not?

Kids are being taught in schools that homosexualality is normal. They see it on TV constantly, in the movies, magazines. Kids know what their two daddies are doing in the bedroom.
All incest would do is make it just a litle more perverted.

You're living in a dream world.

Did you write it?



I wish but no it came in email

[tiamat]

Thanks for sharing it anyway!

[philetus]

Have some patience, it will happen eventually.

Wrong. There are no genetic issues to deal with when speaking of homosexuals marrying. However, allowing brothers and sisters to marry would go a long way towards eliminating the usury Estate Tax.

Society disagrees with your logic. HIV adults have kids not too mention those unfortunate individuals who carry the genes for cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, etc.

I think gay marriage, polygamy, and incest will further erode the atomic structure of our civilization to the detriment of all of us and especially children. However, there will be no legal or rigorous medical basis to prevent consenting adult sibling or parent-adult children marriages.

Or maybe she can find a realdoll in his image and continue the charade.

I'm going to marry my goldfish.

There is already precedent:

I don't think the state should promote either homosexuality or incest through civil gay or incestuous "marriage".

1. The Aims and Objectives of ILGA are

(i) To work for the equality of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgendered people and liberation from all forms of discrimination

Homosexual Group Possibly Connected To Pedophilia Applies To UN

NEW YORK, May 11, 01 (CWNews.com/C-fam.org) - The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)-- a gay-rights group barred from the UN because some of its members promoted pedophilia-- is seeking reinstatement as a non- governmental organization (NGO) by the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), according to the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, a group monitoring the UN.

If ILGA regains NGO status it can lobby and consult the UN Member States on a number of crucial and contentious issues, including how the UN defines and interprets human rights. In 1993, ILGA became the first gay-rights group granted official UN recognition. ILGA is an umbrella organization representing hundreds of homosexual groups worldwide. Some of those groups, which have included the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), have either condoned pedophilia or promoted it.

In 1994, the UN revoked ILGA's NGO status because of this association with pedophilia. ILGA claims to have severed ties with some of the most visible pedophilia groups, such as NAMBLA, but according to a September, 1994 report in the New York Times, ILGA still could not "vouch" for the elimination of all such groups from its organization.

Neither do I. Who would have thought, 50 years ago, that homo's would be openly getting married?

Better than that, who would have believed this:

Pederasty and Homosexuality

by David Thorstad

Speech to the Semana Cultural Lesbica-Gay, Mexico City, June 26, 1998. More than 600 people showed up for the talk: standing room only, and many had to be turned away.
[This is an English translation of the speech, which was given in Spanish.]

http://www.nambla.org/


"Our movement today stresses the liberation and empowerment of young people. Instead of pedagogy, democracy. Rather than a Greek love mentor-relationship, the companionship of independent and autonomous individuals. In place of male supremacy, a vision of sexual, economic, and political liberation for all. Freedom is indivisible. The liberation of children, women, boy-lovers, and homosexuals in general, can occur only as complementary facets of the same dream."

It would be funny except that it's scary to think that it could be closer than we think!

> Genetic screening and abortion take care of those pesky genetic issues. You are living in an earlier era.

So then, should we begin genetic screening and prevent this pesky issue from continuing by aborting those with inherited homosexual tendancies, in this wonderfully enlightened era?

[dandelion]

Then obviously you ARE a crazieman!! If you were normal, you would only want to marry a _68_ camaro - preferably Yenko blue.

[Ukiapah Heep]

Clinton leads the way again!

How about three-way marraige, say between me, Ann Coulter and Morgan Fairchild?

[Jeff Chandler]

How about three-way marraige, say between me, Ann Coulter and Morgan Fairchild?

Everyone loves an optimist. BTW. That's quite an imagination you have.

[rrrod]

will the next thing be fruits marrying fruits????

[Trillian]

They want to lower the age of consent, they want gay "marriage"
I see where this is going.

[The Great RJ]

If not incest certainly plural marriage should be allowed under the anything goes definition. What's to stop some mayor in rural Utah from marrying multiple spouses under the same precident as in San Fransico.
