Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight - Lemmy.World

Wtf dude lmao.

These guys REALLY want to fuck close family lmao.

They sure do! Just like all those hillbilly cousin-fuckers in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Buncha backwoods hicks, wouldn’t you agree?

If those states allow first cousin marrying then yeah, that’s cousin fucker states.

Most of the world doesn’t live in the states man, did you think naming other states was going to offend people? You guys and all your weird hillbilly sex stuff need to get your shit together man. It’s embarrassing to see.

You read any classic novels from England? Marrying cousins is quite normal at one point in human history. I guess it still is in some backward states.

It’s not just England. Marrying cousins was considered common practice among royalty and nobles in the past, not “normal” for everyday people.

They would inbreed to try to keep blood “pure”, or to keep the family in power, or to sell off their family for power. People knew a long time ago this was bad and caused health problems, but the rich kept doing it because theyre egoistical maniacs.

We don’t have monarchs and royalty anymore, we can do away with inbreeding completely. The fact some conservatives still defend it is ridiculous.
