Funniest thing ever...

Albert have you ever heard of the incest taboo? One of the few things on this planet that is a cultural universal throughout history. Your little scenario may happen once every so often but the fact is incest is nowhere near as common as homosexuality.

When it does occure it is most often in the form of abuse.

At one point in time, homosexuality was also taboo, was in the form of abuse and not that common either. It has become more and more accepted and common nowadays. Who knows, maybe incest is following a similar but slower path.

You may be thinking there is no way incest would ever become common in society. But then again, no one thought the earth was round. No one thought the world revolved around the sun. No one thought women would ever be able to vote. No one thought cloning was possible. No one thought humans could communicate countries apart over a computer in mere seconds.

Ask your grandparents. They will probably say when they were teenagers, there was no way gay marriages would be a hot topic let alone a possibly in some provinces in Canada and/or states in the US.

You may not see incest becoming more common in todays society, but don't say its not a possibility [/b][/quote]
If it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem, but I doubt it would have anything to do with changing our laws about gays and gay marriages.

Besides as some astute person here mentioned, homosexuality hasn't been taboo in every culture, incest is something that has ben pretty much across the board. The genetic defense mechanisms within us prevent if from being a wildly accepted form of (ewww, love?). Sure there will always be a few out there, but I doubt if it will ever become a huge issue.
