It seems unfortunate to me that people can be so repelled by religion Unfortunate, how?

Haven’t We Been Told that Comparing Gay Sex to Incest Was Wrong? John on December 16, 2010 at 8:42 am I’m too lazy to look, but I’m pretty sure I remember people on the right being shamed for making this comparison: David Epstein was charged last week with one count of incest for what was allegedly a consensual three-year sexual relationship with his daughter. The political science professor at Columbia University, 46, allegedly slept with her between 2006 and 2009. Epstein, who specialises in American politics and voting rights, is also said to have exchanged twisted text messages with the woman during their relationship. Matthew Galluzzo, defending Epstein, has said that even though his daughter had emerged as a victim in the case, she could ‘best be described as an accomplice’. He told ABCNews.com: ‘Academically, we are obviously all morally opposed to incest and rightfully so. ‘At the same time, there is an argument to be made in the Swiss case to let go what goes on privately in bedrooms. ‘It’s ok for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home. How is this so different? ‘We have to figure out why some behaviour is tolerated and some is not.’ He’s right of course that the only real argument to be made against this is: Ewwww! And that argument is no longer valid in our society. But of course when conservatives said this is exactly what would happen a decade ago, it was considered a low blow. Are you comparing gays to a man sleeping with his own daughter?! I don’t know, maybe it was a low blow, but it’s also turning out to be prescient. verumserum.com
