Doesn't this bring up the feeling that...ok, two unrelated gays can kiss, but no matter what, I cannot help but cringe at the thought of me kissing my cousin? It's not the same thing! I have a gay cousin - it's fine to think about him and his partner kissing, but the thought that he would kiss my brother is just eeewwww! Even if my brother were gay, it would just be.... eeewwww.
And I have a cousin who is adopted, my own age, but I have been raised and he has been raised in a family setting that we are FAMILY. It doesn't matter that we aren't biologically related, we are FAMILY. And family members do not do physical things with each other!!! (other than hug and eat enormous amounts of southern cooked food)
It's a value that is placed in families - some believe it's ok, some don't.
