People agast gay marriage sometim e the "slippery slope" argument, that basilly says that if we legalize gay marriage, that will lead to a whole bunch of other thgs such as polygamy, polyandry, polygyny and other "poly" varieti.

For example: if someone had argued that gay marriage would evably lead to, say, marriage between animals and humans, I would reply that they are wrong not bee gay marriage do not move down some slope, but bee do not go down that one.
In other words, the logic isn’t wrong, but the norm that gay marriage did fact “loosen” has been misintified. In that rpect, I thk that those who intify the genr movement as downhill om the “slippery slope” created by the gay rights movement are misintifyg the fundamental natur of both.
Movements are plex and multi-dimensnal…there n be many slop created at once, and I don’t ny that the mpaign for gay rights has ntributed to the succs of the genr inty movement some rpects. For example, is unniable that the gay rights movement helped mastream the poisono nflatn of polics wh moraly by labelg all iologil disagreement as “hate” or a “phobia”. It is also te that the lavishly-fund and polilly powerful NGO apparat that gays and lbians built up today exists largely to serve the needs of the genr inty movement.
