Incest is defined as having sexual relations with close family members, and throughout the majority of the world the practice is not only taboo but also illegal.
In many places, yes, but not all.
However, just because people won’t admit to partaking in incest does not mean that the practice does not occur.Consanguinamory happens a lot more than most people think.
In some circumstances, incest is a necessity and multiple studies have shown that offspring of distant relatives are actually healthier than the general population.
I'm not surprised.
However, the risk for life-threatening deformities and diseases among inbred children is not as high as you may believe.
Right. Most children born to close relatives are healthy, and, depending on genetics, might be highly intelligent.
A 2008 study on 48 cases of incest found that the risk for birth defects is around two percent in the general population but rises to only four percent between first cousins. However, due to the sensitivity of the subject, there was no information available for the children of incest between closer relations.
Children are born to closer relatives every day. It's ridiculous that bigotry is keeping science away.
The article goes on to talk about Genetic Sexual Attraction.
Whatever anyone wants to say about why some people engage in consangiunamory, there's no good reason to perpetuate bigotry in law or discrimination against consenting adults.

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.
