That is not the argument at all. My point is that if you want homosexuals to be allowed to get married, then you cannot discriminate (draw a line) against "appropriate" incestuous relationships too. They loooooovvvvvvveeee each other and want to get married too and want the relationship to be recognized by others as such.

Are you seriously comparing the act of incest to a commited couple who loves each other and want to get married? That seriously boggles my mind. In most cases, incest is a crime of someone taking advantage of someone else. I fail to see the comparison to a gay couple who wants to declare the same commitment and love as their fellow heterosexual citizens.
Its basically making the statement that these people are sub-human and are not entitled to the same rights and privleges as everyone else.
Personally, I think people like Britney Spears and Liz Taylor, and the throngs of people who marry at will and dump like it never happened are more of a "threat" to the institution of marriage than two women who have been together for 50+ years.
