There's nothing wrong with experimenting with, dating, or marrying a cousin. There are some countries and a little over half of US states where the bigotry against marriage equality extends to preventing first cousins from marrying, but there are many places where marrying a first cousin is legal and common.
It is sad that so much ignorance and bigotry remains. And with this kind of prejudice against cousins, you can imagine that closer relatives who are consanguinamorous are not encourages to come out of the closet.
From their introduction...
The bigots who say hurtful things about such families should wake up to reality that love is love.
We have all the same wants, needs, dreams and desires as any other couple though, and we want the same kind of life as any other too.
My name is Lauren and my other half, his name is Damian. We are first cousins. And yes, we are crazy, head-over-heels in love.
Obviously we are not a normal, everyday couple and for that I apologize, to you the reader, to my family and to anyone else that takes issue with this fact. But that defining detail changes nothing about how we love each other or anyone else. We just are who we are and we want our loved ones to know us. To know us and to love us, even as a couple.
Damian and I love our children very much, Kayley love bug and Violet princess. We are dedicated to making a life for us and them. We want to show them the world, everything that is awesome and amazing and happy. We most of all, want to show them LOVE. We have so much to give.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
