Increasing acceptance of gay people is
creating a slippery slope to incest, social conservative Michael
Brown claims.
Brown, the author of A Queer Thing
Happened To America: And What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been and
the host of the radio program The Line of Fire, wrote in a
WND.com op-ed that shows such as HBO's Game of Thrones and
MTV's upcoming Happyland are also adding to the momentum
toward public acceptance of incest.
“Gay activists constantly tell us
that there's no such thing as a slippery moral slope and that the
acceptance of homosexuality will not lead to the acceptance of other
sexual practices, such as incest,” Brown wrote. “The facts prove
otherwise, and it is clear that we are rapidly sliding down the very
slope whose existence they deny.”
“In their zeal to justify homosexual
practice, these misguided teachers have opened the door wide to
incest as well, removing the primary biblical texts that prohibit
these sexual unions.”
Brown has previously compared
homosexuality to pedophilia, bestiality and “sexual stimulation by
faeces.”
Writing
at Equality Matters, Carlos Maza reacted: “It's telling that
Brown chooses to cite fictional television shows to peddle this bogus
link between homosexuality and incest. Much like the dragons and
skeletons that roam the land on Game of Thrones, the 'slippery
slope' argument is only troubling for people who can't distinguish
fact from fantasy.”
