Honest question though, now that gay marriage is legal, on what legal basis can incestious marriage be denied?


How would gay marriage change the legality of marriage between closely related people? It simply allowed that same sex couples could get married, it was silent on marriage between related people. On what legal basis are you justifying incestuous marriage?

The same legal basis that gay marriage used to become legal. The whole argument for gay marriage being illegeal was based on moral grounds of it being “wrong”. Well if you can no longer use morality as a basis of denying marriage rights for some (homosexuals in this case) then due to the equal protection clause you cannot deny those same rights to others who's Marriage rights have historically been denied due to moral grounds.
