I think I agree. In principle at least.
But what of incestuous unions, or cousins? The gene pool of society is negatively affected in the long term. Shouldn't a society be able to decisions if it will be undermined?
What too of paedophilic unions? Where one person is coercing a lesser developed mind?
Where do you stand on polygamy? Is that included in your umbrella of tolerance?
As I said, I think I agree, but these issues above cause me concern.
Thanks for writing Laura/Nigel.
