If so, you must hang in some pretty wild circles, and I'm surprised something as benign as gay marriage is something you are against.
We are not wondering what could happen anymore. Same-sex marriage has been legal for Canada for 10 years. We heard all of this before, including the faux concern about the guy who will want to marry his mom, or the woman who wants to marry a Christmas ham.
It didn't happen. It hasn't. It won't. And on the odd chance that suddenly there is a significant portion of society who want to marry their sister, then let them fight it out.
You are arguing against marriage equality based on bizarre hypotheticals.

I agree completely with you, and I have mentioned many times that no, I don't foresee a huge demand of siblings wanting to get married. But the stance against this is a moral one, and I don't think numbers should dictate your moral position on an issue. My only point is this, if you are for same-sex marriage, you should in theory have no problem with 2 sisters or brothers getting married since in both cases it does not affect your personal life. This does not mean that I think it will lead us down a road where millions are demanding the legalizing of this type of marriage.
