Hey Toni,
I personally may not have a good reputation, but hetrosexual marriage does, because of its respect for others, responsibility and the nurturing of children.

It is the sexual practices of homosexuals that give homosexuals a poor image.

Suggesting that polygamy or incestuous relationships would be next, if same-sex marriage were to be legislated for, is indeed the slippery slope fallacy.

Dearest AJP,

If you want to dismiss the concerns of those against ssm by describing their concerns as the slippery slope fallacy(and therefore worthy of not being listened to, hence dismissed!) then you have to first describe ssm as a relatively small step: IT IS NOT! SSM IS PATENTLY NOT A RELATIVELY SMALL STEP!

The yes vote has not a foot to stand on in this respect...

In no way does the size of the initial step make a difference to whether the argument is fallacious, this is something the OP has made up.

AJP is simply wrong!

No, I don’t, Cupric Embarrasment.

<<If you want to dismiss the concerns of those against ssm by describing their concerns as the slippery slope fallacy …>>

I have far better ways to dismiss them, such as pointing out the fact that they either have no rational basis, or are irrelevant to the topic of same-sex marriage.

<<… then you have to first describe ssm as a relatively small step: IT IS NOT! SSM IS PATENTLY NOT A RELATIVELY SMALL STEP!>>

Well, if you say it with the Caps Lock on, then I guess it MUST be true!

You and your sock puppet (i.e. mememememememe) are yet to explain what the size of the initial step has to do with whether a Slippery Slope argument is fallacious (perhaps we can get to whether same-sex marriage is a relatively small step after that). I even provided you with three links to get you started.

So far, your only rebuttal to this is to assert that I am “simply wrong”.

Dear Banjo,

Heterosexual marriage has a good reputation?

Really?

As one commentator pointed out -

Two words. Las Vegas.

Shotgun weddings that last 43 minutes aren't really the
pinnacle of morality. It's an affront that a heterosexual
couple jaked up on cocaine and the better part of an
entire bar can slur "I do" with the full support of the law.

There is no decent, scientific, medical, or moral reason
why two loving consenting non-related adults should not
be afforded the same rights as the majority.
