Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest
The bill would remove first cousins from the list of family members with whom it's illegal to have sexual relations in the state.
Maybe he has a personal interest in this?
edit:
The amendment would also reduce the designation of incest by contact to a Class D felony for some cases "unless it is committed with a person who is less than twelve years of age," in which case it is Class C.
uhhhhhhhhhhhā¦. that age cutoff seems low
HB 269 - "The purpose of the bill is to add "sexual contact" to the incest statute. Currently, incest only applies in cases of intercourse. So sexual touching/ groping by .. anyone with a familial relationship is not included in incest. My bill makes that kind of sexual contact a Class D Felony, unless the victim is under the age of 12, then it increases the penalty to a Class C Felony."
Basically they accidentally left out cousins (and the bill has already been withdrawn) from what sounds like an otherwise good bill and the news media runs wild. Keep this handy when you hear about this for the next ( if <= heat death of the Universe )
Soā¦ the same party that wants to stop same sex couples from having sex is upset that the government is telling them whom they canāt have sex with? Golly.
Jokes aside.
Felony by definition means it's punishable by at least one year in prison.
So specifically, why are we incarcerating consenting adults for having sex?
From a moral point, don't do that. From a legal point, stay out of the bedroom.
I'll also add context of this is a very Western belief. Natives of America prevented inbreeding by not marrying within the clan. Your first cousins could be in a different clan and therefore open for marriage.
Because of course that's the top priority for Kentucky Republicans right now š
That's the look of a man the fucked his first cousin.
Republicans: "It's not pedophilia if we get rid of the laws making it illegal!"
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Apparently the bill was supposed to expand the prosecution of incest not make more of it. Who knows with the KY state reps.
Since weāre talking about KY reps. Damon Thayer is a corrupt scumbag.
The article conveniently leaves out that 19 states allow marriages between first cousins and additional states allow those marriages under certain conditions according to Wikipedia. It also is legal in most countries.
he must be from shelbyville
Oh so this is why all of Project Zomboid's maps are in Kentucky. They're not zombies, just inbred.
āThis candidate knows how to speak to his baseā
The jokes write themselves.
Of course they did.
We need to make Kentucky Man a thing

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Kentucky Republican has introduced legislation that would amend the state's law so a person who had sex with their first cousin would no longer be criminally liable for incest.
According to the Kentucky General Assembly website, it would strike "first cousin from the list of familial relationships" defined as unlawful incest in the state.
In November 2022, Wilson ran unopposed for the 82nd District of the Kentucky House after Republican incumbent Regina Huff retired.
It would also alter Kentucky law on parole for violent offenders to include a person "who has been convicted of incest by sexual contact" within the definition.
In August 2021, webcomic creator and YouTuber Christine Weston Chandler, also known as Chris Chan, was arrested on a charge of incest in Virginia and later caused a stir by stamping their feet repeatedly in court to disrupt proceedings.
French survivors of incest spoke out online in January 2021 using the hashtag #MeTooInceste after prominent lawyer Camille Kouchner alleged that her stepfather, a high-profile political scientist, sexually abused her as a child.
The original article contains 505 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Kentucky living up to its reputation
It's part of his Game of Thrones omnibus bill.
In his defense New York did allow FDR to marry his first cousin.
Okay, to be fair, I see no problem with fucking your first cousin. What I do see a problem with is having a child with them. A couple of my cousins are totally hot and i bet most ppl have one of those. Plus, it prob happens more now anyway since its taboo and that makes it more fun.
Hey... uh... Nick? Something you want to tell us?
Sometimes, a picture and a headline is all you need.
It's still incest mate. Even if you make it legal incest.
"This is the problem I wanted to solve when I was elected"
At first I assumed since this is a Republican that it would be about reducing abortions in case they had an incest exception.
Turns out they don't have such an exception, so he must have a really hot first cousin that is otherwise dtf.
I love how everyone that speaks logically and factually about this has to first overtly announce and apologize that they aren't supporting this candidate. Like, is everyone here so opposed to actual facts if it looks like there is even one iota of support for the 'other team'? Even when that's clearly not the case. Please, someone else has to see the stupidity.
Dudeās probably fucking his young male cousin.
He looks like its already legal
Pretty sure that's legal here
