Anyway, an incestous relationship is possible as a loving relationship between "brothers and sisters", " brothers and brothers", "sisters and sisters", "mother and son" and "father and daughter".
If I interpret the new definition of marriage, these things could be possible:
two gay brothers marrying each other
a brother and her sister could marry
a mother marrying her own son
a father marrying his gay son
What do you think?
If the new definition can apply to gays, why cant we apply it also to those people who happened to be relatives, but are in a loving and intimate relationship. I have known cousins who are sexually and romantically involved but they are not permitted to marry.
Would it consist discrimination if we criminalize those people who marry but happen to be relatives?
