I strongly supported gay marriage and was happy when the SCOTUS made it the law of the land (despite my personal feelings against legislating from the bench). Yet the gay marriage opposition warned us about the slippery slope:
First, it was the persecution of Christians (notice not Muslims who are free to deny ***'s service) to deny serves to a gay marriage based on religious beliefs. Yet the argument was the bakery is a bigot so please carry on.
Second, it was you can't say anything to offend the sensitive people of the world or the non-tolerant left will ruin your life.
Now, they want grown men to use the same bathroom, locker rooms and showers as women and young girls. This was unthinkable even 5 yrs ago and now the left is destroying anyone who disagrees with it.
Next on agenda will be child marriage. I guarantee it will come from a Muslim who says they want to marry a child. Child marriage laws will be eroded. Sounds unthinkable, yet few years ago so was men in women's bathrooms.
Next will be bigamy. It will go hand and hand with child marriage. This one is inevitable.
I am not sure I don't still support gay marriage, but the slippery slope is getting frightening!
What’s sad and disturbing is that the ignorance, stupidity, hate, and bigotry expressed by this thread’s premise is common to far too many on the right.
And the evidence mounts that this sort of the ignorance, stupidity, hate, and bigotry are indeed prerequisites for being conservative.
Conservatism is in fact the bane of the American Nation.
