Who are you to tell two people who love one another that they must not be related? Why are you imposing YOUR beliefs on other people? Either you're for marriage equality, or you're not. Do not be a hypocrite.

How not? Explain. Either you're for marriage equality, or you're not. Do not be a hypocrite. I'm simply holding you to your own standards. Defend them.

Sorry, there is no logic in that statement. Explain to us all how it is hypocritical to believe that marriage should be between any 2 consenting unrelated adults, while NOT believing that marriage should be between any 2 consenting BLOOD-RELATED adults.

As I'm sure you know (but you're choosing to ignore), marriage between BLOOD-RELATED adults (and the possible procreation thereof) increases the chance of genetic problems in the offspring. That is reason enough for most reasonable people to support its continued prohibition.

Where is the hypocrisy? And screw the redefining of anything. If the fed gov wants to grant benefits to one group then it MUST grant the same benefits to others in a similar situation. If I chose to marry my gf and you denied me benefits bc she is black and tried to say I could choose to marry a white woman and then get the benefits it would also be discrimination.

Unrelated man and woman = option to marry
Unrelated man + man, woman + woman = no option to marry
Related man and woman = no option to marry or have sex
Related man + man, woman + woman = no option to marry or have sex

If you really want I will vote to let you marry your brother. Deal?

Prohibiting blood related people from having sex and getting married is supported by science. Make a real argument. This line of reasoning just makes you look silly.

Please, please, please thoroughly read threads that you choose to post in; that shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Again: If you cite "equality" as the reason you support the redefinition of marriage to include two dudes, than you MUST support consensual incest marriage or polygamist marrige. Or you're a hypocrite. Either you believe in "marriage equality" or you do not. I am holding you to your own standards. Defend them.

YOU are the one who keeps using the term "marriage equality," and you clearly have a specific definition in mind, along the lines of ANYONE can marry ANYONE. People who support gays and lesbians having the right to marry their gay or lesbian partner are NOT supporting ANYONE being able to marry ANYONE.

Marriage has limits now. Marriage will still have limits if gays and lesbians can marry each other. This ANYONE marrying ANYONE is your own ridiculous hyperbole.

Same sex marriage is illegal in 41 states. You haven't made your case. Polygamy, polyandry, also must be made equal if homosexual marriage is accepted.
