Although, OTOH, I don't see why they couldn't just make a living will with each other being the POA and beneficiaries of any "estate" if they so wish. Maybe it was also to receive tax benefits.
Really, since children were not involved, I don't see a need to be so upset about it. I do wonder what type of "precedence" something like this sets for future cases though. People should not be able to "adopt" another adult for benefits.
It makes prosecuting others more difficult.
How so?
Incest is a serious crime, refusing to prosecute one set, because they are gay presents a defense to other offenders. Why me, and not them?
Well, I don't think it's considered "incest" unless it is a blood relative. Even with stepfathers who abuse their stepdaughters, it isn't really considered incest, just sex abuse.
Also, I don't see how it presents any kind of "defense" as those involved in this particular situation are both well into adulthood. No children were involved. Whenever a child is involved, it is still a crime under out pedophilia laws.
