This small exercise is all the proof you need to illustrate how same-sex marriage is completely different in purpose and function, from traditional marriage.
In same sex marriage, two sisters would be allowed to marry. While in traditional marriage we would never allow siblings to marry.
Why, because traditional marriage is about procreation between the husband and wife, while procreation is impossible between spouses in a same sex marriage.
We don't require fertility tests. Adoption and surrogacy is legal for gay couples.

Oh bunk. Traditional marriage is about being able to boink all you want, any way you want, whenever you want - children or no children, with the blessing of the Almighty.
Traditional marriage means finally being able to get your rocks off without fear of fire and brimstone. If sex before marriage wasn't considered a "sin", a lot more people wouldn't bother with the marriage part, at least not initially.
That is a dumb question.
you cannot compare or ask if one is ok if the other is ok.
Incest is the act of sex with a close relative.
Marriage is a formal union between a man and wife.
So.. where does a sex act with a close relative even come close to a union between a man and wife?
I find it shocking the number of people on this thread that support incest. I certainly thought it would have been much lower. What has happened to the morals of this country? And people wonder why we are going downhill.
Come on man. Totally overboard and an unfair poll.
My partner and I have been together 25 years, longer than most straight marriages. Why shouldn't we be entitled to the same legal status, tax breaks, etc as a hetero couple?
I never said that you shouldn't. My argument is that if people support redefining marriage to include homosexuality under the reasoning of "equality" than they have to support equality for everyone that wants to be married, i.e consensual incest, polygamy, etc. otherwise they're being hypocritical.
I have ZERO issue with legal domestic partnerships. I don't believe that anyone should be defined by their sexuality.
Uh.....yes, they can if they live in one of the nine states that have marriage equality (or the District of Columbia).
And soon there could be a lot more ----- despite what you think about holy or unholy unions.
Get over it.
Until consensual incest marriage and polygamy marriage is made legal, there is no "marriage equality". Either you support marriage equality, or you do not.

You're 100% correct and most of Europe proves your hypothesis.

Why if I support marriage to include homosexuality...you make the leap to include incest?? I could turn your support of marriage as defined by one woman to one man and make the leap it could be a mother(woman) married to her adult son(man)! That is just a crazy leap in logic!
