One of my most repeated (and annoying) arguments, back in the old coffee room and early TNCR days, against same-sex marriage was the slippery slope, specifically that polyamorous marriages were much more logically defendable than same-sex marriages.

You could just as well use the slippery slope argument as a reason to abolish all forms of marriage

Why yes!
Let's fuck up society beyond all recognition, clearing the way for The Man On The White Horse, who will swoop in and dictate what will bring us back to Sanity!
Damn, you're head-banging stupid.
Stable and prosperous societies begin with stable and prosperous families. The best way to ensure anarchy and revolution is to first tear apart the family, then the rest of the underpinnings of stability are easy to knock over.

@Jolly my point was that the slippery slope argument isn’t a very good method, since it can be used to stop us doing or changing anything, ever.

Not really, the slope only becomes slippery when there is a significant departure from reason and logic.
For example, one could argue the concept of marriage between one man and one woman, adult, and not of the same blood line, not only is vastly supported from a civilized/historical perspective, but also from a health, biological, child-producing perspective. Whereas the concept of two men, or even more adults, simply reflects the concept of a incorporated/unions because...whatever!
