Why does a relative rate higher on the forgiveness scale?

I am well aware of that, but you can get birth defects in other ways TOO, so my point in saying that was, that isn't a valid argument.

A relative doesn't rate higher on the forgiveness scale. I never said I would forgive them. I would forgive them if they LEFT the action. I would forgive ANY gay if they left their sin and repented. Honestly, if I had a gay relative who was insisting on his/her sins, I wouldn't feel the same about them. The love that exists amongst relatives would still be there, but quite frankly, I wouldn't feel the same about them. I wouldn't. To be honest, I would probably distance myself from them.......perhaps cut off the relationship completely.

AND you never answered my question. Why is it not discriminatory on the government's behalf to ban marrying between close blood relatives if THEY wish to marry the one they love, yet it is discriminitory on the government's behlaf if they want to ban gays from marrying the ones they love? Why why why. Both are condemned by religion. Why is it ok to force that opinion on the non-religious, while it isn't ok to enforce the gay law. I want to see an answer to this. An answer that makes sense.
