I think siblings marrying is gross but I believe they should have the right to do so.
I'm honestly curious: why?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just called Dan Savage. I'm a little worried for our cause. I get email from three different organizations and I've signed up with two of them to become a volunteer but never heard back. I wondered if Dan has the power to help us unite under a common banner.

I don't think I can tell other people who they can and can't marry. I believe in the rights of consenting adults.
edit: I draw the line at box turtles.

Ann, that's a ferret.
First you allow gay marriage and then the slope slips to allow siblings or animals or children or whatever.
Actually, that slope starts to slip at straight marriage.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
CA being half-assed. This is a weird place.
Will people please send decision making ma ~~~ to my DH. He's got a job offer , that isn't as secure as his current job. But this co he is in now is crazier than his old job.

Hey. New board.
I'm with Laga on the sibling marriage thing. Not my bag, but if a pair of consenting adult siblings makes that decision and is willing to fight the social stigmas, who am I (or the government) to stop them?
I'm not even certain how I feel about prohibiting siblings from having children. Strongly discouraging, sure, and encouraging termination in the case of detectable problems, okay. But legally forbidding it or forcing termination? Sounds dangerous to me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm sad too, to see that Prop 8 got upheld. It is crappy and half-assed to uphold it, yet let the marriages stand that took place before it passed. It's not fair to the couples who are ready NOW to be married, who were not there yet for that brief window of opportunity.

And I hope I don't come across as not being supportive of you and your DW, GC, when I said the California Supreme Court decision about Prop 8 is crappy and half-assed. Because I'm glad that your marriage is still legally valid, but the rest of the decision is most uncool.

Not at all, WindSparrow. I'm completely furious about it.

“Not dead yet!”
CA Supreme Court was smoking something bizarre.
