Claim filed on April 1st, but it doesn't look like an April Fool's joke. (I guess one never knows, though.)

A New Yorker who wants to marry their own adult offspring is suing to overturn laws barring the incestuous practice, calling it a matter of "individual autonomy."

The pining parent seeks to remain anonymous because their request is "an action that a large segment of society views as morally, socially and biologically repugnant," according to court papers.

"Through the enduring bond of marriage, two persons, whatever relationship they might otherwise have with one another, can find a greater level of expression, intimacy and spirituality," the parent argues in the Manhattan federal court claim filed April 1.
"The proposed spouses are adults," the filing says. "The proposed spouses are biological parent and child. The proposed spouses are unable to procreate together."

Incest is a third-degree felony under New York law, punishable by up to four years behind bars, and incestuous marriages are considered void, with the spouses facing a fine and up to six months in jail.

I don't know how the woke people in this nation can object to this....the law preventing this is obviously archaic and untenable as we move past old crusty values of a superstitious sleepy old world to the new woke one where anything is encouraged, including child mutilation and treatments pioneered by nazi scientists, any combination of adults in a marriage entity, and all sexual or non sexual gender identities with emphasis on equity and equality for the most vulnerable among us.....not discounting marginalized populations including rule of law implications of personal property, devaluing individual human rights for the rights of all and allowing wealth to be distributed by all powerful and soon to be dictator type global governments to themselves and those deemed worthy.....what can go wrong in society with all this new woke philosophy??? lol

Marriage was effectively redefined when gay marriage was legalized. It's now simply a public acknowledgement of people who want to have sex with each other. No-one in support of gay marriage can argue against polygamy or incestuous marriages anymore.
