laws againt consanguinous marriage are ok because they are for the good of society. And society trumps the rights of those individuals who seek to marry. If you buy that, then gay marriage can also be argued as detrimental to society, or not adding to society, therefore also legal. You have to at least allow for the possibility, if you are going to still ban consanguinous marriage.
