I shy away from anything that criminalizes acts between consenting adults. However, it just doesn't ever stop there.
I am all for protecting the rights of homosextuals to live as they choose without discrimination in the job market or any civil rights short of marraige.
On the other hand, if I am an employer I don't want the government telling me that I can't refuse to employ a man or woman openly having sex with one of their adult children.
Cultural mores are part of the fabric of society and there are some forms of behavior that deserve discrimination. If we become too tolerant of deviant behavior among adults, how far are we from recognizing even more disgusting deviations, like pedophelia. There are already organizations that promote the normalization of sex with minors.
In for a dime, in for a dollar, just doesn't work.
