It's 2024 and Tennessee had to pass legislation banning people from marrying their first cousins.....two Republicans actually voted against the bill.
@covie_93 😂 Unbelievable! Are the two Republicans who voted against the bill cousins?
@covie_93 But you go to family reunions to find your spouse.
@covie_93 Aww shucks. Now they have to settle for that uglier second cousin.
@covie_93 My memory from law school, eons ago, is that there was then a law on the books banning marriage between first cousins.
@covie_93 @1nancyschindler Yes I live in TN. Republican Gino Bulso’s Grandparents were 1st cousins. He pushed hard for this bill. He even went against his own convictions & stated that 1st cousins that are gay should be allowed because no chance of birth defects in children born.
@covie_93 @XenaWarrior2024 I didn’t know this was a thing until a coworker told me that it’s legal in quite a few states.
