Furthermore, after the gay marriage thing passes, the next 'lifestyle' for which they'll demand legal recognition and protection is swinging, then bestiality, then who knows what else

Thanks for a brilliant demonstation of the logical fallacy known as the slippery slope.

I haven't checked your link yet but your statement that there's no "slippery slope" is on it's face fallacious. If people without filters in their brains look at our culture as far as sexualization over the last couple of generations they can easily see the slippery slope happening, and leading into the abyss of total amorality, beast like exploitation and perverse impersonal sex.

You correctly identified that as a "slippery slope". What you failed to do was to show that it was also a fallacy. Care to back up and start over? Naw, didn't thinks so.

Oh, you're so right....complete fallacy. All I have is the history of the income tax, smoking rights, abortion, environmentalism, 'human and civil' rights, feminism, and most of the other things governments do to back me up. Starts out sensible and ends up tyrannical.

Logically fallacious? Perhaps.

Empirically fallacious? I don't think so.
