What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to decriminalize incest between persons of legal age of consent, and grant people in adult consensual incestuous relationships (CIAO people) the same right to marry as all other consenting adults.

What the petitioner did first

I have written letters to several government officials in the United Kingdom about this matter to try and have the law reformed.
I wrote two petitions to the Scottish Parliament.
I wrote to the Head of the Anglican Church, her Majesty the Queen, and the Archbishop of Canturbury. And I wrote to the head of the BBC about a new documentary on this subject, to be a counter to the Stephen Fry's documentary about the persecution of gay people in Russia and several other countries.
I wrote to several university law professors who have written theses on this matter. They also argue for the decriminalization of ACI.
I have written a petition to the European Parliament, where already 11 of the 28 member countries have decriminalised ACI asking that the EU harmonize their legal systems so that CIAO people are free to move in all of those countries without fear of persecution and arrest, and for the law to allow CIAO marriage.
