If our only criteria for being marriable is being a loving, consenting adult aren't we then logically forced to extend that "right" to incestuous relationships? Aside from our tolerance of one and intolerance of another, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two. Loving? - yep. Consenting? - yep. Adult? - yep. One relationship can't produce children, the other shouldn't... Does our extending of "rights" such as marriage rely then on our taste and preference for one type of relationship over another? If it does, then the argument for homosexual marriage falls flat on its face.
