Can a Father “Marry” His Son?
January 22, 2015
BY WHAT principle can supporters of “marriage equality” deny the right for a father to marry his son? A blogger who was raised by a lesbian asks this question.

Last summer my fiancé and I were on a road trip through the Northwest. We stopped in Portland, Oregon to go to Powell’s Books and enjoy some good food. My fiancé convinced me to get a haircut, so we stepped into a hipster barbershop. The barber (who gave me a good haircut) was clearly a homosexual, not really a surprise in Portland.
He mentioned his “husband,” who was from Latvia.
“Latvia huh?” I said, trying to be polite.
“Yes! I went there for a family reunion a few years ago. I didn’t meet my husband there though, that would be incest. We may be gay, but we’re not perverts.”
My head hurt just trying to figure that out.
There’s a limit to how much absurdity a society can take and still function at a reasonable level. We’re going to see more and more until there is a complete backlash.

The incest story was recently posted in an internet forum that is local to where I live, and someone asked “if you do not object to gay marriage, how can you object to this?” The posters, who are primarily high-income, well-educated liberal women from what I can tell, largely agreed that one could not really object to incestuous marriage even though it is icky to think about.
The effort to destroy moral judgment in this country has “succeeded” such that today, suburban moms are unable to identify any principled objections to father-daughter incest.
