How DARE he compare the honest, true love between a brother and a sister to...HEY, IT'S A JOKE!!
Well, if marriage isn't in any way about procreation, but is simply about love and commitment (and about who gets on whose health plan), and if the ick factor is an invalid basis for deciding which unions can be given the dignity of marriage by the state, it's hard to see where he's gone wrong.
