It is absolutely of issue. The constant whining that homosexuals are somehow "discriminated against" any more than any other groups, is the purest bunkum, as I have pointed out.
Your offspring, presumably, run the risk of birth defects as being related which is the reason for being illegal.
A presumption rapidly approaching obsolescence as more and more studies find minimal risk of birth defects or other health problems resulting from sexual relations between close relations.

But since you brought up the subject, would you like to examine the frequency of health problems resulting from "sexual" relations (producing or not producing offspring) between members of the same sex, compared to the frequency of health problems resulting from sexual relations (producing or not producing offspring) between close relations?
The farther this thread goes, the more reasons to not allow "marriage" between same-sex partners come up.
