45. The slippery slope fallacy

Here is my answer to your proposition... in what states or countries that have marriage equality are they now battling proponents of polygamy, incestuous marriages, 'man on dog' marriages? None. The problem with the slippery slope is two-fold: one, it's a cop out. It's a way of alarming people out of talking about the issue at hand. Which is often, the only reason people are against marriage equality if because of their personal, religious beliefs. The second problem is those that bring up the 'slippery slope' are hoping and assuming the person they are talking to is too dumb to realize there is a difference between a committed relationship between 2 people who happen to be the same gender. In using the 'slippery slope' argument and demanding we pay attention to it is saying that somehow gay relationships are so radically different from straight relationships that we are going to open a floodgate of perversion.

The slippery slope fallacy can Kiss. My. Lesbian. Ass!
