If gays can marry, “how can we deny the same right to two siblings?” says Euro MP Roger Helmer
“Cardinal O’Brien makes the point, quite reasonably, that once you start to tamper with the institution of marriage, you get into some very murky water indeed. If two men can be married, why not three men? Or a two men and a woman? He could have gone further. Why not a commune? If two men have a right to marry, how can we deny the same right to two siblings? Are we to authorise incest?“
Euro MP Roger Helmer on his blog, coming out in support of Cardinal Keith O’Brien’s public assertion that the idea of gay marriage is “a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right.” O’Brien, the head of the Catholic Church in Scotland, has largely drawn fire for his comments.
