Nonsense, slippery slope arguments have and do prove themselves. The adoption of no-fault divorce has resultled in the consequences of of easy disolution of marriages. The internal revenue code has yielded to the slippery slope of selective tax granting. Just diverse examples of the slippery slope comming true.

Are you seriously under the fantasy that other groups will not want their own vision of "private sexual behavior" recognized and protected. The polygamists will want their preferences protected. Are you going to allow every sexual proclivity to have their sex practice legally protected?

The law of unintended consequenses destroyed the great society born of sixties naivete. The same law of untended consqueses can and does apply here. (homosexual marriage will become part of the overburdened family court system if it is permitted for example.) If NO behavior can be prohibited between consenting adults then NO behavior can be prohibited between consenting adults. This permission will not just permit the homosexual conduct it will protect the ANY conduct "within the bedroom".
