That seems like a logical inconsistency to me.

Well yes, if you change the idea of my post it most likely won't make sense. My emphesis was on the relationship ITSELF being allowed at all. I don't have a problem with incestual marriages being outlawed because those types of relationships are not even allowed in the first place. I do have a problem with gay marriages being outlawed because gay couples ARE allowed.
As it is right now:
You CAN'T be involved in incest and an incest couple CAN'T get married. -- makes sense
You CAN be involved in a gay relationship but you CAN'T get married. -- doesn't make sense
There's a huge difference there.
