IS IT A CIVIL RIGHT OR NOT? I have no need to answer your question other then to say if as you claim it is a civil right you MUST also agree to incest relationships between consenting adults.
And IF that is the ruling, then the absolute right thing to do LEGALLY and according to the Constitution, would be to make them legal.
It is illogical to claim one must make a harmful practice legal because a harmless one has been made legal. That would be the slippery slope fallacy.
Thus the corner you have painted yourself into. Since you insist incest must be made legal if gay marriage is made legal, and you don't want to be illogical, they must either both be harmeless or both be harmful. So which is it?
Would there be anything wrong with making incest legal?
You are the one arguing that what two consenting adults do is no ones business and further that because of that it is a Civil Right.
So explain again how it is harmful? The incident rate of 1st Generation incest is almost ZERO. We allow people with defects that have a 50 percent chance to occur to reproduce. The argument has been made that a same sex couple will have no effect on the sexual identity of any children in the home. Why would you assume that an Incestuous couple would effect the chances of their offspring marrying one another?
Man, you are really leaping and jumping all over the place in your desperation to cover up your horrible mistake of equating incest to gay sex, aren't you?
I am not arguing that two consenting men or two consenting women in marriage are harmful. It is you who came along and tried to argue that if gays are allowed to marry, we must allow incest. And so I have pointed out your claim can only make sense if you believe gay marriage and incest are equally harmful or equally harmless.
Since this has been pointed out to you, you have been choking and sputtering and refusing to tell us which way you believe to be the case.
This is very common with people who come into gay marriage debates. They always bring up bestiality, incest, pedophilia and all kinds of stuff like that. I even made a prediction someone would do that in the last gay marraige topic a couple week ago. And I even said they would do so even though I made the prediction.
I bagged two in that topic.
I hope your stupidity has been driven home deep enough. I can respect someone who comes along and says they hate fags and that's why they don't want gay marriage. I may not like them much, but I at least respect their honesty. I don't even bother arguing with them. Their mind is made up, and so is mine.
People who use logical fallacies to cover up their bigotry, though, I have no respect for and will run circles around them for the sport.
And by the way. That thing you did at the end of your post there. "The argument has been made" followed by "why would you assume". I see what you did there. A very clumsy strawman.
