Should some same sex blood related individuals be allowed access to marriage?
I won't go so far as to argue that Parent/Child or Uncle - Aunt/ Neice - Nephew should gain legal status, but I see no Compelling State Interest in denying this right to other closely related same sex couples.
Traditionally, the reason incest was thought of in such deplorable terms was that a male/female couple could have offspring with a defective bloodline. That is not the case with blood related same sex siblings or cousins.
I will make it clear that I oppose incest in any form, even those current laws in certain states that allow 1st cousins to Marry, but only if they are above a certain age, past the age of reproduction, or if they can prove sterility.
Having said this, I can find no compelling state interest in denial of the right to the dignity of marriage to a same sex, closely related couple.
remember, same sex can be straight or gay.
If there is one, please present and discuss it.
