Personally, I don't care (in the realm of consenting adults) who screws/marries who. The number of cases of incest/polygamy are so few and far between you'd be a moron to be concerned about them.
However, an incestuous relationship between two opposite sex adults has the very real, time proven, scientific probability of producing a child with serious mental problems and physical deformities. That affects - in a very direct way - a third party and thus you would have the grounds to make a case against its legality.
Same sex intercourse - on the other hand - obviously will not produce a mentally impaired, physically disabled child and therefore there is no third party adversely affected.

Actually not.

A father and daughter mating will statistically have no impact. Cousins over 10 generations will have a heavy impact. The genetic degradation is cumulative. The Tudors had such problems because of incest over hundreds of years.
BTW, incest is abhorrent to me, but the arguments supporting homosexuality are the same for incest. It's the typical "support MY vice, but outlaw their vice" shit that always rears it's ugly head.
Please copy and paste the part in your article that mentions having a child with your parent. All your article covers is cousins.
For one having a child with a first degree relative is different than having one with your cousin. Such a dishonest idiot.
"of a study of Czechoslovakian children whose fathers were first degree relatives. Fewer than half of the children who were the product of incestuous unions were completely healthy. Forty-two percent of them were born with severe birth defects or suffered early death and another 11 percent were mildly mentally impaired. This study is particularly instructive as it included a unique control group — the offspring of the same mothers but whose fathers were not the mothers’ relatives. When the same women were impregnated by a non-relative, only 7 percent of their children were born with a birth defect (Figure 1).
A group of genetic counselors reviewed the research on the biological consequences of sex between relatives (consanguineous relationships) (here). They found a surprisingly small increase (about 4 percent) in birth defects among the children of married cousins. Incest between first degree relatives, however, was a different story. The researchers examined four studies (including the Czech research) on the effects of first degree incest on the health of the offspring. Forty percent of the children were born with either autosomal recessive disorders, congenital physical malformations, or severe intellectual deficits. And another 14 percent of them had mild mental disabilities. In short, the odds that a newborn child who is the product of brother-sister or father-daughter incest will suffer an early death, a severe birth defect or some mental deficiently approaches 50 percent."

Of course there is a difference. When you share more genes with a first degree relative than you do a cousin there will be a statistical difference in birth defects. Such a dishonest idiot.

if their consenting adults, well, thats their business.
