The problem with the "slippery slope" argument is twofold:
1 - Why didn't the previous step on the slope lead to the "slide" down the slope?
2 - It equates gay marriage with polygamy and beastiality. Gay marriage is 1 to 1, not many to one. And it's an expression of love between two people.
The polygamy argument is with some merit though. I have some polygamous friends, and their lives always seem to be a mess and full of drama. I'd be willing to let people give it a go though, I don't have any serious problem with polygamy. Benefits such as medical coverage and estate inheritance would get a bit complex though.

In an interracial marriage, procreation is still possible. Same with an interfaith marriage. You guys don't get my point. It doesn't matter what the marriage means, people will scream "equal rights" over the stupidest shit if we start by letting Gay people get married. Then it's equal rights for the guy that wants ten wives and the guy that wants to marry his sheep. I'm not saying gay marriage is the same as marrying your dog, but "if you can't help who you fall in love with" and "we're both consenting individuals" then we have to let everyone get married to anyone they want to. That's not what marriage was supposed to evolve into.
