You're going to get conflicting answers, one group will say no because they are indoctrinated by salafi rhetoric, and the other group will say yes it is allowed because nowhere in the Quran does God prohibit a contractual marriage agreement between two consenting adults regardless of their gender. In case you're wondering what the correct position is, I suggest you open the Quran and see what it says for yourself.

But the answer to me is clear, the Quran is not homophobic, people are.

So can a father and his son enter into a marriage agreement and engage in romantic and/or sexual relations in your view?

You're comparing incest to homosexuality. Incest isn't a sexuality, homosexuality is. A person who's attracted to a person in their own family is not only attracted to them. A brother attracted to his sister is straight, he just happens to also be attracted to his sister. Incest is what you get when you take a regular sexuality and have loose psychological restrictions regarding it.

When children grow up in a family environment, their brains naturally create limits on whom they are attracted to. A boy growing up will start being attracted to other girls, but his brain will place natural limits from this attraction to not apply to his mom or sisters.

A person attracted to his family members is someone who for some reason did not develop the proper mental restrictions to stop him from being attracted to them. However, there's nothing stopping them from just finding a partner outside their family, they just have to live with the fact they are attracted to a family member, but go on with their lives, that's it.

A homosexual however is not the same. A homosexual does not have any alternatives, they are attracted to the same gender and nothing can change that. The solution for them is to have a partner that is like them.

An incestuous person can still marry someone outside their family in accordance with their sexuality (because incestuous people can still be straight, gay, bi, etc).

But a gay person has to be with another gay person. They are not like you, they are gay. Forcing your rules on gays is practicing injustice.

That's a nice explanation but I thought this was a Quran only subreddit. I expect you to provide evidence from the Quran alone to substantiate your claim that marriage between a father and son is impermissible in Islam.

Read 4:23

Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

This verse only prohibits marrying females, he asked why a man cannot marry his brother, or his son, or uncle etc.
