As a married guy, I cannot understand why some people fight so hard to prevent two people who are in love and are dumb enough to want it legally recognized from being married...nobody protested me and my wife when we got our license.
Although sometimes I wish they would have...

furthermore, history is replete with marriage b/t cousins *intentionally to the exclusion of "outsiders"*. if anything, the slope goes back up, not down.
why does marrying cousins skeeve you out so much? what's your hangup?
wife and i got married in maryland. on the one page from from the county court for our marriage license, there was a groom section, and a wife section. under the wife section:
"Relationship to the groom, if any: ________________"
looked into it. maryland will marry first cousins.
in the future (when our population drifts toward oblivion due to being overtaken by dirty buggery) electronic marriage licenses should have a link to upload pics of cousins. i'm sure there's some levity for hot cousins to marry where otherwise banned.
there's already a lot of dirty buggery going on in the south. kind of explains a lot.

(08-14) 18:06 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Supreme Court unanimously rejected an attempt to revive the state's ban on same-sex marriage Wednesday, ending a nine-year legal battle over the rights of gays and lesbians to marry the partner of their choice.
The court order came seven weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by sponsors of Proposition 8, the initiative defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman, of a federal judge's ruling declaring the measure unconstitutional.

Judge strikes down Utah's gay marriage ban
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/21/us-usa-gaymarriage-utah-idUSBRE9BJ1D020131221
(Reuters) - A federal judge struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional on Friday, handing a major victory to gay rights activists in a conservative state where the Mormon Church wields considerable influence.
U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby, ruling in a lawsuit brought by three gay couples, found that an amendment to the Utah Constitution defining marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman violated the rights of gay couples to due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution.
"The state's current laws deny its gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in doing so, demean the dignity of these same sex couples for no rational reason. Accordingly, the court finds that these laws are unconstitutional," Shelby said.
In other news...Utah to hold it's breath until gay marriage goes away.
