The Republican made the remark Friday on WHP-TV in Harrisburg when asked about a statement his lawyers made in an August court filing.
The attorneys had said gay marriage licenses have no "value or legitimacy" in Pennsylvania and can't be defended in court. They compared gay couples to children, who can't marry because a 1996 law says marriage is between a man and a woman.
Corbett has called that statement inappropriate. On Friday, he said he thinks "a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?"

I need to clarify that I shouldn't have compared gay couples who want to get married to small children. I've had months to think about that mistake, and what I meant to say is that they are like a brother and sister committing incest.
.... no, what I meant to say that it would be like a Priest marrying an altar boy.
.... no, what I really meant to say, it would be like a big Black guy being allowed to marry a pretty little White girl.
.... no, I really meant to compare it to man-on-dog sex.
I hope that is now perfectly clear.
