The 'slippery slope' argument is so laughable i'm surprised anyone bothers debating it.
Let's combine some classic slippery-slope arguments... porn leads to rape... gay marriage will lead to polygamy and beastiality... buying weapons means you intend to hurt people. So i guess since i watch porn, think gay marriage is ok, and like weapons, I'm going to eventually wind up knife-raping a nun while I give hand jobs to my 4 husbands and suck off a horse.
This type of argument never has, cannot now, and never will prove anything to anyone with half a brain in their head.
History will record these days, and we will all look back in wonder, years from now, curious how anyone could be so closed-minded. Currently, we think this about slaves, racism, and bigotry. At some point, lots of us thought the earth was flat- including Kings and Queens. We thought that making a machine that could fly in the air was absurd. We once thought that diseases were caused by evil spirits, and that women should NEVER be allowed to own property or to vote. Even as recently as a few years ago, we thought that Mars could never have sustained life... and yet now we all know not only did it once have water on it, there were vast oceans.
I have never seen an anti-gay-marriage sentiment that made any sense, actually used any fact to back up wild assertions about tax laws, or be anything other than logically and in all other ways flawed to hell.
It's called progress, people. Marriage is a word. Let them hold hands, recognize it, and give them equal rights that hetero couples in love do.
I can't wait to pull "i told you so"s out of my pocket when i'm old. It's gonna be great.
