Yet they will not become legal anytime soon. To see why, it helps to understand the evolution of moral assessments of interracial and same-sex marriage. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/08/ny-times-marriage-how-moral-norms-evolve/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/30/genetic-sexual-attraction-victims-are-big-trouble-for-gay-marriage-advocates/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/30/genetic-sexual-attraction-victims-are-big-trouble-for-gay-marriage-advocates/#comments Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:59:59 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=99591 Babble.com: In 2008, when California first sanctioned gay marriage, many people argued that “the California Supreme Court’s legal reasoning could be applied to polygamous and incestuous marriages.” Glen Lavy of the right-wing Alliance Defense Fund wrote in the LA Times, “Although some proponents of same-sex “marriage” have been trying to distance themselves from polygamy, it is, and long has been, defended by powerful voices like the American Civil Liberties Union.” . . . No one wants to see incest supported by society, but victims of GSA need some level of sympathy. After all, if your child was conceived using a donor embryo and he or she wishes to meet her biological parents someday, there’s a 50% chance they’ll experience some level of obsession or Genetic Sexual Attraction, too. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/30/genetic-sexual-attraction-victims-are-big-trouble-for-gay-marriage-advocates/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/05/uk-secret-sperm-donor-fathered-aunts-children/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/05/uk-secret-sperm-donor-fathered-aunts-children/#comments Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:11:13 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=89869 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/05/uk-secret-sperm-donor-fathered-aunts-children/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/20/attorney-for-man-accused-of-incest-asks-if-homosexual-sex-is-legal-why-not-this/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/20/attorney-for-man-accused-of-incest-asks-if-homosexual-sex-is-legal-why-not-this/#comments Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:15:03 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=87678 LifeSiteNews: "The attorney for David Epstein, a Colombia university professor charged with incest with his adult daughter, is defending sex between family members by appealing to homosexual 'rights' as a precedent." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/20/attorney-for-man-accused-of-incest-asks-if-homosexual-sex-is-legal-why-not-this/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/14/william-saletan-if-homosexuality-is-ok-why-is-incest-wrong/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/14/william-saletan-if-homosexuality-is-ok-why-is-incest-wrong/#comments Tue, 14 Dec 2010 23:00:10 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=86669 writing at Slate: "If gay sex is OK, how can incest be wrong? . . . The conservative view is that all sexual deviance—homosexuality, polyamory, adultery, bestiality, incest—violates the natural order . . . Mess with the family, and you mess up the kids . . . Liberals tend to recoil from such arguments. They fear that a movement to preserve the 'family unit' would roll back equal rights for homosexuals. But that doesn't follow . . .
