Examples of the slippery slope can be found at The Corner, from Stanley Kurtz @ National Review -
I think Lockyer just threw California to Bush in November.
Is gay marriage a weapon of Mass. destruction?
Title 1, General Provisions Chapter 1, Rules of Construction Sec. 7. - Definition of ''marriage'' and ''spouse''
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word ''marriage'' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ''spouse'' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife
Title One is positive law, which means the legal beagles have gone over it, and determined the meaning and phraseology is constitutional, and reflects the original statutes.
--if you walk into any agency or bureau of the United States (the federal government), this is the definition they are bound to obey.

Makes you think, doesn't it?? Just look at the Mayor in California. If everybody starts doing what they want and breaking laws?
Note date:
Yet we’ve reached a point where some of them no longer find just being left alone satisfactory. They want society’s imprimatur, its explicit approval that their way of life is legitimate. Oscar Wilde’s "love that dare not speak its name" has turned into a lifestyle that won’t shut up.
The homosexuals and their enablers stayed on message throughout - it was ``a civil-rights issue.'' But that lie was exposed by the way they ran out the clock, with Sen. Brian Joyce, an empty suit's empty suit, filibustering to deny the electorate an opportunity to vote, which is also a civil right.

Sorry for the bad "hook into the story"- the old ad copywriter in me knows the first rule is to get the audience's attention.
Anyway, here's some of what I found about this noisome subject.

It is definitely an issue that will kill the Dims. It's the one issue that they are defending that will destroy any chance of winning because they are so strong on commitment to this issue.
Wedge issue? You bet. But President Bush has got to follow thru and amend the constitution. If the GOP just talks about how they are against it, that wont work, they must do something about it. Sure we all know that any constitution amendment will
take a long time, but at least they made a move toward it and that will make people happy. Especially since the Dims will oppose it.

Thatta girl Eileen Goodman - keep it up! You're helping Americans find out what liberals are really made of. Keep on bashing America and attacking traditional values. You are a conservative's dream come true and we couldn't make up a better portrait of liberals if we tried. Go on, keep turning off the middle from here until November.

Is anybody as disturbed as I am to see a bureaucrat tossing aside the law by which he is supposed to be governed? If this is an acceptable attitude, what separates us from Haiti or Venezuela?

--while I suspect this whole noxious movement will have unintended consequences, backlash, and other things the Gay Marriage folks never anticipated, it should never have been allowed to come this far.
When the subject was first broached in the national conversation ( when? 1998? ) it should have been laughed, ridiculed, and hounded into extinction.
If you need to see where this leads, look up hate crime laws in Canada, where merely criticizing gays has become illegal. That's where they want to take America. It's time to kick back.

But that won't stop her and her partner from showing up at the county building Friday morning to apply for a marriage license. The Grand Valley State sophomore says she's entitled to the same rights as everyone else
Thanks ( I think... ) for the link.

The sewer overflows:
This is the Pandora's box that most liberals insist on opening with this gay marriage thing. Ten years ago, this guy wouldn't have been able to leave his house had he publicly stated his perversity back then. Now he represents just one of many emerging "alternative lifestyles." Who knows what kind of perversion will come out of the woodwork next in an effort to gain acceptability in our brave new "Sodom-and-Gemorah" world.
RICK SANTORUM WAS RIGHT!

Well, the King is a reluctant one, but this is without question a culture war, and I do not believe in fence-sitting.
If the issue was merely one of simple purely legal parity, I would side with the gays.
It isn't, so I don't.

The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Lefts Assault on Our ...
... The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Lefts Assault on Our Culture and Values
by Authors: Tammy Bruce Released: 22 April, 2003 ISBN: 0761516638 Hardcover ...
Excerpt:
In this informative and disturbing book, Tammy Bruce starts out with a traumatic episode from her youth to describe her personal and political journey. It is an honest account of the people and events that shaped her beliefs and convictions. At the same time it reveals some horrific aspects of popular culture, politics and the media as they operate today.
Bruce exposes the rank hypocrisy, soul-destroying motives and malevolent mind-set of the Left in chapters dealing with the Academic, Black, Gay and Feminist Elites, plus some destructive tendencies in the arts, the media and the justice system in the United States today. Some of her examples make harrowing reading, whilst her insight is often tinged by a bit of humour, for example when she identifies the gangster rapper as the current equivalent of Rousseaus "noble savage" in the eyes of the Left.
Bruces diagnosis rings true. She discusses the mental disease called malignant narcissism and explains how it is rooted in trauma that never attempts recovery. These individuals, instead of seeking psychological help, are focusing on social change. In other words, they want the rest of society to mirror their own hurt and pain.
She makes a very convincing case for the fact that an entire wing of politics is invested in the victim-hood of its constituency, the leaders of which are trying to work out their demons on society. This is scary stuff, but easy to recognize from the examples in the book or by taking a critical and discerning approach towards trends in the media.
The most shocking example of just how far this worldview has penetrated our society is the fact that many of these Left elite groups actually think that sexualizing your children for their own perverted benefit is a good thing! For example, GLSEN and their cartoon STD characters (page 115), or the ongoing work of the ultimate in mainstream pedophile supporters, Judith Levine, who states that "Sex is not harmful to children...there are many ways even the smallest of children can partake in it" (page 193). As outrageous as this sounds, it is not some fringe group of marginalized pedophiles that want this evil perpetrated to rationalize their depravity, but rather the leaders of the "special interest" groups on the Left, sponsored by their friends in the media. Well-documented facts throughout the book reveal this agenda clearly.
The book is essentially a direct assault on the "Looking Glass" world of moral relativism. Within this worldview, there is no right or wrong, therefore all behaviors and all results of that behavior cannot be condemned. Of course the hypocrisy of the Left condemning others is clear to everyone, and she outlines it in example after example. Whether this is glorifying cold-blooded killers, pedophiles, and rapists, or whether it is hypocritically attacking and silencing those whose views would judge the actions of convicted murderers as "wrong" the source is the same. The cause is the "malignant narcissism" of the damaged people who comprise the Left elite, in particular those who lead the various "special interest" groups. Unfortunately, through this agenda to destroy value and virtue, everyone is painted through the lens of the worst offender, even those within those groups who are good and decent people.

Tammy Bruce was invited to come and speak to the Washington County Republicans about a year ago. When I received the email notification I immediately sent it along to my entire list, having read basically what you shared here. I was psyched!
I received back one surprising reply with a link to Ms. Bruce's homepage, where the very first paragraph of her bio introduces her as ...an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Reagan progressive feminist..
I concluded that she is one mixed-up lady. I sent out a retraction and did not attend her speech.
In the same vein it was recommended to me that I could conscientiously vote for a certain female candidate running as a Progressive for local office because she was a strong supporter of my right to keep and bear arms. A ver
