Married cousins hope to change Utah laws to recognize their union
quote:
EAGLE MOUNTAIN, UT (KTVX/CNN) - A pair of first cousins in Utah is fighting for the right to get married in their home state, saying their love shouldn’t be limited just because their parents are siblings.
quote:
Michael and Angie Lee tied the knot Monday in Colorado after they say they’ve loved each other since childhood. But the couple isn’t legally married in their home state of Utah because they are cousins.
quote:
“As soon as we crossed over the state border, we're not married anymore,” Michael Lee said.
quote:
In Utah, it is illegal for first cousins to get married unless they are 65, or 55 if they can prove they are infertile.
quote:
“No one I’ve ever been with will make me feel as perfect as she does, and her being my cousin and some of the responses is a small price to pay,” Michael Lee said. “I’ve always loved you, Angie. You know that.”
quote:
The couple says it all started with a crush in second grade.
quote:
"This is something I've always felt very – life was unfair. Why did the person I want to be with the most and had the most attraction to and the most natural feelings for…? Why did you have to be my cousin?” Michael Lee said.
quote:
"We're like, ‘OK, this is crazy, but we're adults now and we're single now. We're just going to go for it, and who cares what our family thinks?” Angie Lee said.
quote:
According to researchers at Columbia University, first cousins share 12.5 percent of their DNA. If the cousins have children, they would face a 4 to 7 percent chance of their child having a genetic disorder, as opposed to a 3 to 4 percent chance for the average couple.
keeping in the family
as a soon to be former Alabamian, i don't see any problem with it.
reminds me of an old joke we like to tell every once in a while over here.
What’s the best part about plowing your cousin?
-It makes your sister jealous.

Looks like Colorado is the one taking over since it's apparently legal there.

PornHub is obviously driving the cultural zeitgeist

Considering the history of polygamy in Utah and other heavily Mormon states, I’m not really surprised this push is happening.
I’m just waiting for West Virginia to say “hold my meth”.

Who cares what two consenting adults want to do?

I have property in both states so now I'm cookin' with gas?
Eagle Mountian (the community) isn't even a bad place to live. It's just North of Salt Lake City on the way to Ogden. They have a bad-arse golf course I play quite a bit too. Muni golf in Utah is severely underrated.

If a guy wants to paint his house pink, that's cool.

According to this most of the SEC is okay with it. LA outlaws it, but they're okay with shacking and bumping. Mississippi, however, has taken a tough stand on the topic altogether.
