Correction: the first sentence of the last comment should read “@david, I’m sorry, but you’re trying to justify denying marriage to cousins while saying that denying gay marriage is wrong. Neither denying marriage to first cousins nor to gay couples is justified.”

Also your first argument about first cousins was the same argument that interracial marriage opponents made:

Denying marriage to [interracial couples] means a guy can’t marry this SPECIFIC person. He can still find happiness in finding someone he’s attracted to. After all, there is no sexual orientation where you are only attracted to [people outside your race].

Doesn’t sound right, does it? Didn’t think so.

@david, I’m sorry, but you’re trying to justify denying marriage to cousins while saying that denying gay marriage is justified. Neither are justified. We deny marriage to nuclear-family relatives because to breaks down the nuclear family (people are also denied marriage to their adoptive parents and children), and there is a high chance of having birth defects with parent/child and sibling couplings. Msost people I know aren’t even close to thie cousins. I know people who can barely name their cousins. Furthermore, science has debunked the “having deformed babies” myth already repeatedly… the rate of birth defects of cousin couplings similar to having kids over 40. So do we deny people over 40 having kids? I think not. (Not to mention that most everywhere else in the world, it’s legal.)

So this is where denying marriage to first cousins and denying marriage to gay couples is exactly the same. It means that you cannot make a lifelong commitment to the person you love that is protected by law… FOR NO GOOD REASON.

Why do they keep making this stupid anology?

Denying marriage to cousins means a guy can’t marry this SPECIFIC person. He can still find happiness in finding someone he’s attracted to. After all, there is no sexual orientation where you are only attracted to you relatives.

Denying gay marriage means you can’t find happiness with ANYONE. It’s a complete denial of your sexual orientation.

That’s a HUGE difference.

The hypocrisy here is comparing gay marriage to cousin marriages… including the hypocritical judgmental tone that our side got from anti-gay marriage folks. I'm wondering, why are we stooping to their level? Getting together with your cousin isn't consider incest in most of the rest of the world, and to be frank, most of us are decedents of first cousins somewhere in our lineages. Anyway, just another example of why our side is losing… because we're a bunch of ignorant Americans. To put it simply, the U.S. is the ONLY western democratic republic where first cousin marriages are illegal in half the states. Canada, the Netherlands, the UK, and all the rest of Europe… completely legal. Which goes to show that we're the only western country where it's okay to take away fundamental rights based on the “ick” factor and being a bunch of judgmental assholes.

It would be my pleasure, but it does look like marriage equality will happen in DC very shortly.

Last summer I officiated for 2 women who live in DC, one of whom is an attorney at Boies, Schiller and Flexner. And attorneys Boies and Olson are challenging CA's Prop 8...

Onward to equality, Joe Mustich, Justice of the Peace,

Thanks! If gay marriage falls through in DC (and luckily, it's looking like it won't), I hope that you will one day perform the marriage ceremony for my boyfriend and I!

Correct, facts will set us free. The fact is also that gay marriage will not spawn incest (as one argument against it goes) and that it will not suddenly ruin marriage when marriage already has so many exceptions to begin with.
