I can remember when the gay lobby was pushing to legalise homosexuality and one of the arguments against that was that once it was legal, that would lead to promotion of the gay lifestyle,which would indoctrinate children. Ie, a slippery slope argument.
And of course that's exactly what happened. Gay Mardi Gras, the push for gay marriage, the promotion of gay lifestyle through Safe schools programs, the portrayal of gay lifestyle in the media.
Decades ago adult incest would never even be mentioned, yet now we have support groups and advocates and in a few countries, including Australia, we already have one form of incestuous marriage, which is avunculate marriage.
So to dismiss the issue just because it doesn't fit with your " equality" argument is disingenuous to say the least.
