Thank God someone wrote this. i thought i was the only
one freaking out about the inappropriateness of
comparing the two. it's like comparing gay marriage to
sex with animals- it's the same argument that was used
to stop gay marriage rights. --"If two men can get
married, then whats next. marrying an animal? " - why
is that the next place people go to? Incest is incest
and homosexuality is homosexuality.
