No, you simply assume I have something against homosexuals. I don't. I simply believe that marriage should strictly between a man and a woman. No questions asked. Those are my views.

And to the incest question, sure. I couldn't care less who people marry or have sex with, as long as there is no coercion. I'm sure I'm an extreme minority on that one, but it really doesn't make much difference to me.

This is what I was getting at. I'm glad that you acknowledge the fact that you would be in the extreme minority, but the same reason as to why many people would oppose legalizing incest is the exact same reason as to why I oppose legalizing gay marriage.

Incorrect. I'm not sure you know this, but there's a correlation between the two. In the wake of the Lawrence v. Texas decision by the US Supreme Court, striking down laws criminalizing homosexual sodomy as unconstitutional, some have argued that by the same logic laws against consensual adult incest should be unconstitutional.
To be perfectly fair, they're right. By the same reasons one wants to legalize gay marriage, one would legalize incest laws. Anyway, I asked you the question for a specific reason. You have nothing to lose by answering it.
You want to ask me why I don't want gay marriage to be legalized? Well, assuming that you are against incest (I know that some people here are), my reason for being against gay marriage would be similiar to your opposition to incest laws.
If you can't understand that well... I can't tell you anything else.
