Quote: the G-man said: But klinton, just to play devil's advocate here:
1. "children can't consent"
2. If we accept that homosexuality is OK because whatever two consenting adults do is their own business, what stops us from having to illegalize brother-sister marriages?
From a strictly secular standpoint...I'm not getting into anyone's religious ideals here...of all of the things listed in your argument, homosexuality is a 'victimless crime'. Even in a brother/sister scenario the resulting children are highly likely to suffer from debilitative birth defects. We know that closely mixing the gene pool leads to malformities and mental handicaps. This is reason alone to forbid such a practice.
