So I assume multiple marriages are next on the agenda?
Seriously...how could they deny that too? Consenting adults can engage with multiple adults sexuallly....but not marry said people if they so choose?
The slippery slope is being realized...and very quickly.

Slippery slope arguments wrt society are completely without logical grounds. Society exists, and always has, at some point on a 'slope'. The very act of establishing a society, implementing laws, etc puts you on a slope between anarchy and absolute dictatorship. As an example, self-defense is an acceptable reason for killing someone. Is this not the first step on the 'slippery slope' to wholesale killings? Or at the other end, once you establish one law that limits people's behaviour, what is stopping the slippery slope from ending up at absolute lack of personal freedom?
Just as a final point, I don't think that the foolishness of these arguments are limited to social conservatives. Clowns like the ACLU seem to think any tiny infringement on perceived rights will ultimately lead to government control of every aspect of their life via the exact same slippery slope argument.
