Top Hollywood Director Believes Incest Is Acceptable

September 10, 2012 10:43 AM

LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) – A top Hollywood director finds it acceptable for people to commit incest.

In an interview with The Wrap, director Nick Cassavetes believes no one should judge a brother and sister being with each other if they are in love.

“I’m not saying this is an absolute but in a way, if you’re not having kids – who gives a damn? Love who you want. Isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want?” Cassavetes told The Wrap. “If it’s your brother or sister it’s super-weird, but if you look at it, you’re not hurting anybody except every single person who freaks out because you’re in love with one another.”

Cassavetes added that he does not have experience with incest.

The comments come after he unveiled his latest movie “Yellow” – in which a woman had an incestuous affair with her brother that is in prison – at the Toronto Film Festival. The movie does not yet have a distributor in the states.

Does it make any difference? Not sure what you believe ,but for me I believe God created Adam and Eve,not many such pairs at creation.

If there were only one original family and I believe that to be true then marrying within the original family in the first generations would be a necessity. I believe God knew what He was doing in not creating multiple unrelated human pairs. I don't question that.

I also believe that became a practice to be condemned by God.

Those types of arguments are often used for "Biblical" permissions to commit almost any present day immoral or deviant act you can think of.

I also believe that became a practice to be condemned by God.

Why was it condemned?

Because of the problems of inbreeding perhaps?

I am sure that was part of the reason. Not all by any means I don't think.Inbreeding is not the only issue when it comes to incest.It may be for some.

I would think it would play havoc with the family relationship all the way around.

An older brother manipulating a younger sister would not have good long term results. A father grooming a young daughter from early age.

But as much as I hate to agree with that kind of slime ball mentality the author has a point as long as so many want to legalize gay marriage.

If marriage is a "right" because you love someone/anyone and as normal as straight marriage then incest should not be frowned on by those advocating or condemning those that believe it to be wrong.

If a gay man should be allowed to marry a close gay relative

based on the fact inbreeding would not be an issue,how can the law discriminate and say a straight man cannot marry his daughter,sister or ??

Simply deny them the right to have biological children.

For me,I believe incest to be a far bigger issue that inbreeding. Especially in this day and age and the ease to clinically become pregnant and have a child

As you were the one to bring the biblical era and the short term practice into the discussion. I think the moral code God has given had to do with much more than inbreeding.

You may not but that is your business.

Bonnie I tend to agree with you - no, I do agree with you.

Still, it begs the question of the original family (families?) in Genesis. And I don't think it would be too long before someone hoping to justify sibling marriage would drag the Biblical precedent into it.

Once "gay marriage" becomes the law of the land and I believe it will,with the obvious redefining what marriage means I think we will have only just begun that particular downhill run.

If marriage does not mean one man,one woman then there is no reason to deny any "union" as long as those involved mention the magic word "love'

There is less and less resistance to a gay life style among those that declare themselves christian. It happens here,frequently the response is "well what about gossip" etc as if that has anything to do with the subject.

Anything defined as marriage beyond one man,one woman is a deviant lifestyle.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the damage a incestuous relationship.

Plural marriages were also a fact in the biblical era,that is slowly but surely being given a respectful place in society thru TV and online. Numerous programs have been on TV the last few months. Nicely done,almost convincing,after all they all love each other.Children appear to be well cared for and educated,the sister wives seem very fond of each other,what is not to like?

Two gay men recently were chosen as adoptive parents by a young unmarried teen mother.Educated men,appear to care for one another,financially able to give the child more than the young single mother,what is there not to like about that?
