I ain't even gonna open that. Not even to verify it's not just a click-bait title. Imma just presume that the world is really that ****ed up.
Here's the summary.
First, they're not actually related.
Two grown men (one in his late 70s now, the other 10 years younger) had been in a relationship for years. Since same sex marriage was not legal at the time, so they decided that the older man would adopt the other to form some type of a family unit and get the state recognized benefits that come with it (inheritance, tax related, hospital visiting rights, etc.)
Now same sex marriage is legal and they want to get married. They can't get married because the state recognizes them as father and adopted son so they are trying to get the adoption annulled.
It's a weird story and situation, but not incestuous as the headline would make you believe.
Wonder if their "relationship" ever rose to the level of legally-defined incest?
Adopted or not, you can't legally (in Indiana, at least) have sex with your kids. No statute of limitations, and (I don't believe) you need a cooperating victim.
All that said, if they had kept their private business private, I wouldn't have given it a second (even a first) thought.
Good gravy. When I was in middle school we used play "swat team" and run down the hallway pretending to shoot people, diving behind walls and throwing our backpacks into classrooms while yelling, "it's a bomb!"
We'd get arrested today.
Oberlin... isn't that Lena Dunham's alma mater?
The parents should tell the principal that he's fired. I'm sure there are plenty of private Catholic schools in Cincy. And before deciding where to spend their money they should interview the principles and make sure they're sane.
