      In honor of the Germans legalizing incest I have found a German translation of the song "I'm my own Grandpa"


      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater

      Heute vor vielen, vielen Jahren,
      Mit dreiundzwanzig
      War ich mit einer Witwe verheiratet,
      Die so schön war, wie es nur ging.
      Diese Witwe hatte eine erwachsene Tochter
      Mit rotem Haar.
      Mein Vater verliebte sich in sie
      Und bald heirateten die beiden.
      Das machte meinen Vater zu meinem Schwiegersohn
      Und stellte mein Leben auf den Kopf.
      Meine Tochter war meine Mutter,
      Denn sie war die Frau meines Vaters.
      Um alles noch komplizierter zu machen,
      Obwohl es mir Freude bereitete,
      Wurde ich bald Vater
      Eines strammen Jungen.
      Mein kleiner Sohn wurde daraufhin
      Meines Vaters Schwager
      Und ebenso mein Onkel,
      Obwohl es mich sehr traurig machte.
      Denn wenn er mein Onkel war,
      Machte ihn das auch zum Bruder
      Der erwachsenen Tochter der Witwe,
      Welche1, natürlich, meine Stiefmutter war.


      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater,
      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater.
      Es klingt lustig, ich weiß.
      Aber es ist wirklich so!
      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater.


      Meines Vaters Frau bekam dann einen Sohn,
      Das hielt die Sache am Rollen.
      Und er wurde mein Enkelkind,
      Denn er war meiner Tochter Sohn.
      Meine Frau ist jetzt die Mutter meiner Mutter,
      Und das macht mich unglücklich,
      Weil sie meine Ehefrau ist
      Und auch meine Großmutter.


      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater,
      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater.
      Es klingt lustig, ich weiß.
      Aber es ist wirklich so!
      Ich bin mein eigener Großvater.


      Nun, wenn meine Frau meine Großmutter ist,
      Dann bin ich ihr Enkel.
      Und immer, wenn ich daran denke,
      Treibt es mich fast in den Wahnsinn,
      Denn jetzt bin ich
      Zum seltsamsten Fall geworden, den ihr jemals saht.
      Als Ehemann meiner Großmutter
      Bin ich mein eigener Großvater

      And here is a video complete with family tree:

        Edit: Just realised Shuny is practicing necromancy,
        I answered the question as worded in the first post. Forbidding incest has an object basis in laws and societies. Homosexuality, and even between relatives is a separate issue. In histiory homosexuality is either forbidden for other social issues such as being unproductive and causing conflict and discord in the culture.
        Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
        Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
        But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

        go with the flow the river knows . . .

          Cleary you did not comprehend what I emphasized in seer's post as demonstrated what I emphasized in yours.
          P1) If , then I win.

          P2)

          C) I win.
