Everyone has a different fear on certain subject. It's not okay to discriminate against anything, period. Also, keep in mind that discrimination isn't always fear. Fear against someone who is attracted to the same sex is homophobia, for example.

There are known medical and ethical reasons not to have sex with family members and it's taboo in most countries. Children, and their children, born from such relationships can suffer early death or complicated medical conditions bought about by 'in breeding'. It's hardly a question of discrimination and wrong or misguided of you to associate incest with being attracted to the same sex. The two are miles apart. This website may be useful to you:

Phobia is a fear. Discrimination is not.
Homosexuality is a sexual orientation.
Incest is a desire for sex with members of your family.
Apples. Oranges.

You do not discriminate against homosexuals but homosexuality. Homosexuality like rape is unnatural and perverse.From Adam to Moses incest was best after wards it was outlawed
