"Anonymous" is a young woman who has a consanguinamorous relationship with her brother, who is two years older.
Read this interview and ask yourself if there is one good reason their rights to love each other the way they want should be denied.
*****
FULL MARRIAGE EQUALITY: Describe your background.
FME: Describe your childhood and relationship with your brother prior to the relationship you have now.
FME: How did sexual affection become a part of your relationship?
FME: Can you describe your feelings during that?
FME: Some people say sibling eroticism is inherently kinky, but I have found that for many siblings it doesn't feel kinky. What about for you?
FME: Describe your relationship now. Do you see each other as siblings or lovers, or are those two roles inseparable at this point? Are you siblings-with-benefits, girlfriend/boyfriend, soulmates, what?
FME: Does anyone in your life know the full, true nature/history of your relationship?
FME: Having to hide the full nature of your relationship from some people can be a disadvantage. Are there any other disadvantages? Conversely, do you think siblings have some advantages and some things better than unrelated lovers?
FME: What do you want to say to people who disapprove of your relationship, or disapprove of anyone having this kind of relationship? What's your reply to those who would say that this is a brother preying on a sister (and that you can’t really consent)?
FME: If you could get legally married, and that included protections against discrimination, harassment, etc., would you?
FME: What advice do you have for someone who may be experiencing feelings for a sibling? What advice do you have for family members and friends who think or know that siblings they know are having these feelings for each other?
FME: Anything else you want to add?

There you have it. Two consenting adults who are still young, but should be free to pursue their relationship, whatever form it will take.
Why should they be denied their rights? There’s no good reason.We need to adopt full marriage equality sooner rather than later, so that an adult is free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage any and all consenting adults. Real people are being hurt because of a denial of their basic human rights to love each other freely.

Thank you to Anonymous and her brother for sharing their situation with us.
Keith, you know I'm a supporter, but... Sources?
ReplyDeleteI was approached for this interview at Kindred Spirits forum.
DeleteOh, ok :)
DeleteThat place is so awesome. You do a great service for those feeling unsure about themselves in this stuff, Keith. Love your work.
DeleteAlways good to hear from you, Snackers. This blog exists to help people who have few places to find it. Hopefully, they'll soon have more.
DeleteThis is a shameful union. They felt guilty at first because what they did was wrong but with more frequent practices they felt normal. That is the same with armed robbers, terrorist and abusers. I hope one day you would not have to advocate for all crimes in the name of equality. Then the world would be a terrible place for everybody
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, the only thing shameful is someone who disparages love between consenting adults. How can you compare sex to armed robbery, terrorism, and abuse. Are you saying YOUR sex life is like that?
