“It goes against tradition.” So did the abolition of slavery. In reality, (adult) intergenerational, interracial marriages, same-gender marriages, polygamous or polyamorous marriages, and consanguineous marriages are nothing new. Some of these were entered into by prominent religious leaders and historical royalty. Regardless, a tradition of inequality is not a justification for continuing to deny equality.
There is no good reason to deny an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or religion, the right to share love, sex, residence, and marriage (or any of those without the others) with any and all consenting adults without prosecution, bullying, or discrimination.

You have no idea how glad I am this blog exists! I always thought there was something wrong with me, but this blog has made things different. I never thought I would see so many supporters, nevermind people in the same situation! I am currently in a healthy relationship with my brother 2 years my senior, and although we have only told our absolutely closest friends about it (most reacted negatively in the beginning, but everything's fine now) we are now much happier, knowing we're not sick. Thank you!
