Ok, so two same sex heterosexual siblings might wish to ener a marriage contract simply for the tax breaks, married couple insurance and such.
What would you deny them that benefit since they are hetrosexual? They engage in sex with those of the opposite sex (and there is nothing in marriage law to stop them from dating)
The traditional meaning of incest is sexual in nature. These are straight siblings. They don't.
There's really no reason to deny them and the state would have to prove a compelling reason.
What would that be?
You should read my post again. There is no compelling reason. I said it should be legal for two heterosexuals to marry. That isn't incest.
The USSC will decide that issue, which will allow heterosexual same sex marriage as well. It must. That far we agree.
The same argument used to allow same sex heterosexual marriage, will be used so that same sex heterosexual sibling marriage. It appears you agree with me on that also.
I don't want to be accused of misrepresenting your view. So far all the above will be legal at some time (if challenged in court of course).
Same sex marriage, gay or straight
Same sex sibling heterosexual marriage.
The above would be legal?
It should be.
Then we need to address homosexual same sex siblings. I guess there is the issue that they may have sex, but honestly, they probably would seek a marriage benefit for the same reason as the heterosexual siblings would, that being the financial benefits that come with marriage. And let's face it, if they had sex, they're not going to produce a defective child.
In both this and straight siblings, they can reap the benefits of marriage, and nothing stops them from dating others until they find someone who they actually want to spend the rest of their lives with.
I don't see a compelling state interest in denying these couples the benefits of marriage, you?
So, are we in agreement that homosexual same sex marriage is just as likely to be allowed as straight same sex sibling marriage?
