Slippery Slope is a negative term. It is used to show your argument has no legitimacy whatsoever.

As to civil unions/marriage. Why take purposefully complicated steps to pretend it's not really the same thing at all?

All 'only civil union' advocates are doing is protecting a word.

Marriage shouldn't be in the legal vocabulary anyway. But since it is, and since it confers a very specific and binding set of rights to a couple, fundamentalists have given up its claim to being purely religous. It has become a legal term and any two people who want to have that type of legal relationship should be allowed to.
