Homosexual incest at least eliminates the possibility of recessive genetic problems in any offspring of the union. This is the fundamental reason that incest has been considered taboo throughout history, particularly between brothers and sisters (who share 100% of their genetic makeup, not 50% as is the case in parent/child incest).
However, offspring aside, incest does not bind the family unit into its society, because the members are not going out to pair with members of other family units. This is a secondary, social reason why incest is considered taboo in 99.9% of all societies throughout history.
I fail to see how you can relate incest in any form to 'normal' homosexual sex. Can you please explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
Define 'normal' and define 'family'.... We could split hairs here, but a family in not limited to biological ties nor does biological ties make a family unit.
So are you saying that incest homosexuality is not 'a good thing to do'?
As far as genetic reasons for not sharing relations with opposite sex partners of the same gene, I will turn to the ancient Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures. In Hawaii, before the missionaries, any child born with any kind of mark or blemish or any other abnormalities, the village would throw the babies off of a cliff and into the ocean. This was their way of maintaining a healthy society where the gene diversity is limited because the live on an island. The point being, missionaries from Europe saw this type of behavior barbaric and taught them otherwise, but also gave them the means to broaden their gene pool selection.
So, what is right! If you take a child with sexual thoughts of any kind, it is the parents obligations to steer that child into the right direction. If a person is left of their own devices, without the added wisdom of their elders.....you are left with "Lord of the Flies", and that's a mild example. If you take a drug addict for instance. Here is a person that was never taught the tools to deal with life on life's terms. As a result, the drug of choice becomes the necessary stimulus to deal with or hide from life's situations. Now if that same person was taught at a young age on how to deal with those situations, those drugs would be less appealing, and the chances of that drug ever becoming an addictive problem would be minimal, or non existent. Some kids are easier than others, but if we teach our kids that homosexuality is the norm by example or from a social standpoint, then more than likely, that's what you'll get. How could you have an entire society of homosexuals as given by the example of some of the early, non westernized tribes? It is a taught, socially adaptive lifestyle and nothing more. This is not to say that certain feelings won't come up, but those feelings can be either detoured or nurtured. And that is the responsibility of our society today.

To expand on another example of teaching other than what 'feels' right. What about stealing? If a child steals from a store because that child is complelled to take that 35 cent stick of gum from Walmart, is that child harming anyone? No, that stick of gum is so insugnificant to Wal-mart that their business would see no ill effects from that child's action. So why do we punish and teach our children an alternative course of action? What if someone stole a $1,000 dollars from Bill Gates, would Bill come to any harm or even notice that it was stolen? Harm-no, would he notice, probably not. Is it still wrong? Sure it's wrong. It's not morally right to steal from another. Further more, if you feel like stealing, does that make you thief? No, but the act of stealing does make you thief.
