But I stand by my original point, which although I will now concede that it does not defeat the totality of your argument, certainly curtails its real-world import: compliance with law can never be the constitutive shape of resistance to norms. If it were, then paying your taxes would be antisocial, not jaywalking would be avant-garde and not stealing chocolate bars would be Marxist.

I think, in a sense, I agree. Gay marriage isn't really a slippery slope. It's kind of the wierd end of the slope where a rights-based language has sort of levelled everything off into a cultural nihilism where we only identify where we stand in regards to the State.
At this point, I personally can't think of a reason to stop the legalized institution of gay marriage.
