    Does the Bible say you can ? Is incest not sin?

    Nowhere did I say it was choices made by the child. I'm going to cut you slack and assume you were simply mistaken.

    I think he asked for proof. Something that has some real evidence.

    Yep, mistaken.
    But what choices by the parent on the child's behalf would there be? Most know before puberty they are not hetero.

    Lot and his daughters did the nasty. Lot was a righteous man, in favor with God.

    Kind of you, I'm sure. But I've spent the entirety of my adult life in the hard left 'down with conservatives' ideological rainbow village. Yet I've been effectly forced (by the application of long overdue critical thought) to join with a growing number of G & L people in backing off. Due solely to the rabid fundamentalism of the SJWs, and their ability to influence govts seeking the cheap vote of virtue signallers.

    When gay and lesbian people are now saying 'this is getting out of hand', the jig is up.

    Don't care about your interpretation of the Quran. But what science?

    I suppose God is the Judge of such matters then.
    The Bible does not say, however they may have Daughters by Marriage, most cultures teach that Marrying your Father is Taboo and is forbidden.

    That comment is clearly bogus.

    Support that with valid science, or please just stop making things up.

    A fact is something that is indisputable. You are asking someone to stop disputing something you believe is indisputable.

    That doesn't prove anything. Before you all how so see below.



    Because it isn't proof of your claim.

    Stop denying 'reality', via your distorted interpretation of things overall.

    You're making things up. Gay relationships normally don't lead to disease. Actually monogamous gay relationships are the most safe.

    It's the messing around on the downlow, or youth experimenting that get the diseases.

    It's the cultural taboos placed on homosexuality that create this phenomenon.

    Any closed relationship is safe, it is when other sex partners are involved, the risks are introduced, If each partner has had three partners each, and those three have also had three partners and so on, it creates an Exponential mathematical Equation that can Equivalent many thousands of sexual contacts for that couple, Greatly increasing the risks of STDs.

    Youth experimenting, emphasis on youth, has little to nothing to do with anything, if two youths are monogamous, Sexual experimentation does not increase risk anymore than two old people engaged in sexual experimentation, it is having multiple sex partners that indeed increases the risks of STDs, ie high risk behavior.

    What does it matter?

    We don't deny rights or privileges to US Citizens who choose to be loggers, even though it is a far more dangerous occupation than
    a phone operator. We don't deny rights or privileges to doctors or dentists, even though their suicide rates are higher than
    the average American.

    Choice or not, American citizens who are gay, are still American Citizens first.

    The question is, how many relationships of any kind are monogamous ? Because according to statistics, many married ( Heterosexual ) couples, either one or both cheat and therefore are not monogamous.

    Some, they are still faithful and thus your criteria for calling them bad disappears

    Further how many homosexuals in monogamous relationships contract disease. It would have to be a majority of them for your claim to hold up

    Homosexuals are no more likely to contract an STD than are Heterosexuals when both engage in high risk sexual behavior.

    We know:

    1. Garbage does not spontaneously generate flies, other flies lay eggs in garbage etc.....

    2. Nobody has ever gone blind from self gratification.

    3. Telling and Re-Telling a false tale does not make it true.

    How many heterosexuals end relationships, due to infidelity or breaking of literal 'vows'?

    (BTW, that starts in the 'heart'... it's not merely physical.)

    No, it's not a choice any more than transgenderism is. Oh, wait...
