Reason:

I hate giving 7-points, as it feels like a votebomb, even when it isn't.

So con swiftly demonstrated harm to future generations caused by incest, and pointed to the lack of any harm caused by gay marriage. Therefore to support one does not mean you should support the other, and implicitly it is not necessary to support the other (I liked the pen/gun and popper/landmine analogy).

Pro on the other hand insisted that not all children from incest have birth defects, and that it's technically possible to support both groups on the same grounds.

ARG: con for the above.

SOURCES: Con's sources were vastly better than the absence of sources. The one pointing to a 42% birth defect rate among incest was particularly good, and proved the basis for his argument.

S&G: ALL CAPS FOR SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS. Seriously pro, you've been told about this repeatedly.

CONDUCT: Pro implicitly accused con of "fussing, whining, screaming or crying." And pretty directly that con is mentally "SLOW" for disagreeing with pro. Insulting the other debater for taking the requested stance, is unsportsmanlike. It would be akin to playing chess, and calling the other player a genocidal racist for killing so many blacks (or vice versa).
