Addoptive Position

Alan Keyes is at it again. Today, he goes and bashes the Cheney family stating that gay couples who have children will lead to incest.

"If we do not know who the mother is, who the father is, without knowing all the brothers and sisters, incest becomes inevitable," Keyes told a Marquette Park rally held to oppose same-sex marriages.

You know, he's absolutely right. If you have kids and don't disclose who the biological parents are to the kids, it's possible that said kid could one day marry his or her sibling unknowingly. Ergo, incest.

I'm glad this is only a problem for gays who have kids. It's not like heterosexual couples could have children who face this problem. Unless they adopt, of course. And, of course, the biological parents of the adopted child wish to maintain their privacy.

So, now I'm confused. Perhaps Mr. Keyes is now bashing anyone who adopts! Or, maybe he wants to change the Constitution to force parents giving up children for adoption to disclose themselves, their child-bearing history, and make future public declarations of any and all children they ever have.

I look forward to hearing the Cheney's, James Taranto, and the cabal et al express their outrage.
