You may think that the success of the gay marriage movement has nothing to do with Woody Allen, who married his de facto stepdaughter.  But the two are very much linked.  For hundreds of years (if not longer), marriage has meant one man and one woman.  Nothing else, no more, no less.  Then, all of a sudden, without any historical or other justification, marriage can now also mean a man and a man, or a woman and a woman.  There's no rationale for it.  All we know is that marriage, formerly one thing, can now be one of three things.

What this has done is shoot a photon torpedo-sized hole into the institution of marriage, allowing anything to get through.  In this context, Woody Allen was quoted in an interview talking about his paternalistic feelings for his wife, who is also his de facto daughter.

In the simplest terms, Woody Allen is a man who had an affair with a 21-year-old woman, who any rational person would consider to be his stepdaughter. The affair broke up his relationship with her adoptive mother, caused a media frenzy, and then, he married her. Twenty-three years later, Allen and Soon-Yi Previn are still together and they have two daughters of their own.

“I started the relationship with [Previn] and I thought it would just be a fling,” Allen told NPR's Sam Fragoso, adding that their relationship took on a life of its own. "And the age difference didn’t seem to matter. It seemed to work in our favor actually.“

Allen went on to say that their 35-year age difference really works for them because he's "paternal."  

"I was paternal. She responded to someone paternal. I liked her youth and energy. She deferred to me, and I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision making just as a gift and let her take charge of so many things," he said. 

Although Soon-Yi wasn't technically his stepdaughter, he had a relationship and a child with Mia Farrow, Soon-Yi's mother, so Woody was very much a father figure.  And fathers don't take nude photos of their kids and leave them lying around for their mothers to find (I can only imagine how much that last link will be clicked on!).

The point is, since marriage no longer has any definition, incest is next.  Then polygamy.  Then who knows what else?  The rehabilitation of Woody Allen is only the next step in a never-ending process to destroy the structure of the traditional family.

Let me know in the comments section if you're cool with Woody because he wasn't technically married to Mia and because he wasn't technically Soon-Yi's dad...even though it seems very much as if he is now.
