They're still close family though, so even if there won't be deformities because of the lack of inbreeding, it's really not all that cool socially to marry your cousin. So I'd say it's a decent excuse to not ask her out, but idk that's just me

Wtf

Just thought I should let you know, Christians have no right to shame you for being gay, and I can give you several reasons for that. First and foremost, our faith calls us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, so any kind of hate is against the belief system itself. Then, there's the affair of “Man shall not lie with man.” The thing with this verse is that, first off, it's from the Old Testament, which was rendered obsolete when Jesus came, and also, historical context means that that quote has entirely different connotations. In that era, it was common for older men to rape young ones, hence, “Man shall not lie with man.” All said and done, I am deeply and sincerely sorry for all the terrible things some radical Christians have done and continue to do. We have no right or reason to do so. I am sorry that you have ever gone through depression, and implore that you open your heart to people of all faiths, no matter what a few people have done. They speak not for the Church.

The way I see it, most Christians won't really try to force anything on you. A close friend of mine, when I was depressed, offered me a spot at her church. It didn't end up doing much, but accepting the well wishes of people around you is great when you're in a tough spot. It's a Christian's duty to try to get as many followers for the church as possible, you shouldn't put them down for that
