Perhaps the question is, rather, why not? Why shouldn't forbidden love be celebrated? Liberals, after all, have already decided that #lovewins. What kind of mossback Neanderthal still hasn't accepted the ontological fact that "love is love"?
The person out of step with modern thinking on individualism, that's who. The modern consensus on sex has come to resemble capitalism: choice rules. Liberals, especially the young, may pine for socialism, but they inject the capitalist ethos into sexual relations. Shop around, make your pick, have some fun, return for a refund if it's defective – such is love in the "Netflix and chill" era.
“Liberals, especially the young, may pine for socialism, but they inject the capitalist ethos into sexual relations.”
It’s a coalition between liberals and libertarians that push for this destructive cultural “value” . The liberals want freedom without responsibility and libertarians want unfettered personal freedom, damn the social consequences.
Too late. New Jersey courts approved of an 18 year old marrying her biological father. I don’t think they even did anything about the fact that the girl admitted to having sexual relations with her father 2 years or more before that, which would be statutory rape.
