Bismillah. Assalamo Alikum,
Sometimes ago i engaged in an interfaith dialogue in one of the universities in the Philippines on the subject of “same sex marriage”, in my speech, I was trying to draw people’s attention to the fact that 60 or 70 years back discussing such a topic was a taboo and in most cases people considers it to be an immoral act. In fact, the same apply to premarital relationships. At that time, you could NOT simply go to your parents and tell them 'let me introduce you to my boyfriend or girlfriend'. Such actions were completely condemned, rejected and unacceptable to the society. However, nowadays,even having children out of the wedlock has become the norm in many countries.
Homosexuals then demanded for "their rights" and they were able successfully to convince various governments to allow them to legally get married. Anyways, In my argument I was saying, how about 100 years from now? What else can human beings come up with and demand as their rights? Can we start asking governments to legalize incest? - Yes I know it is horrible to even imagine that your own mother one day will become your girlfriend or wife!!! Yes I know you are now opening your eyes wide and saying 'that's SICK'... BUT will we have that same reaction in a 100 years from now?.
When I mentioned this point in the dialogue, the panelists were laughing sarcastically because they simply don't accept incest as a normal relationship between genders; one of the speakers was a gay priest who issues marriage certificates from his own church to homosexuals in Philippines. Of course he was not in favor of my argument, simply because what is considered as absolutely normal for him [homosexuality and same sex marriage] is totally rejected by others including myself, and what he thinks is unacceptable to the society [incest, beastiality etc], maybe in few years will become the norm.
And it happens.I came across 2 articles in which one of them mentioned that a man from Florida is already demanding to legally marry his own computer! YES you read it correctly, he wishes to marry his porn filled laptop computer. And his argument is that if gays are allowed to legally marry, then why not other sexual minorities!

Who would fulfill the endless demands of human beings? - - That's why we need our Creator. We need Him badly to tell us what is right and what is evil, what is beneficial to the society and what could destroy it altogether. We need Allah the Exalted, the Most Wise to guide us through this very difficult time.
All I can say at the moment is all praises due to Allah who made us MUSLIMS and sent us the final and most complete revelation, The Qur'an. Alhamdulilah
If you are asking yourself the question "What if these actions became the norm in our societies?" then read the following 2 Ayaat...
وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ
But if the Truth had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away. Qur'an 23:71
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.Qur'an 6:116
Salams.
