^ Discussion over.

Guy in the video spends all his time pleading that he's not using a slippery slope fallacy, then concludes with "so when you expand marriage to include same-sex couples, you open it up to defining marriage any way you want!" aka the exact fallacy he was claiming not to use. Truly an exceptional case of idiocy.

Hey conservative clowns, how about staying the fukk out of people's personal lives?

No, what he is actually saying if you rely on the argument that denying consenting adults from doing something is all you need to make it right, then what else do you need? Did you even watch the video?

He didnt say that at all. In fact, that description of what you think he said isn't even a coherent sentence.

It was difficult to word it. I'll try again.

The argument is:

Why should you restrict consenting adults from doing something?

If you use that argument to justify something being right, how many other deviant behaviors can use that same exact argument?

Lots.

So who would be able to tell polygamists or incestuous people, no?

Thats the irony. The video idiot seems bent on forcing the multiple-person comparison to a same-sex marriage when the two have nothing to do with each other. In fact, I've never heard of a group of same-sex people all wanting to get married. Every notable example of polygamy is between hetereosexuals. Maybe we should ban hetero marriage to make sure we don't go down that slippery slope, eh? If a man is allowed to marry one woman, whats to stop him from marrying several?

Lol at the neg. You have literally the worst rep on the board you scarlett letter lame.

But it's a valid argument. And no, because we are not saying consenting adults should do anything they want until trying to justify homosexuality came along.

And who's in the deep red and who's in the deep green? Just remember that. You're the one with the Scarlet L.

It's not a valid argument because thinking of polygamy and incest along the same veins as gay marriage isn't a valid comparison.

How do you figure? They are all consenting adults.

Polygamy, in the United States, is probably mostly known when talking about Mormon, which is embroiled in a whole lot of shyt involving underage brides and coercion. So the issue is that they're not consenting and they're not adults. And the incest taboo exists partly because of the effects of inbreeding and partly because when you're talking sexual relations between family members, you're entering the realm of sexual abuse.
