This is just another example of the old "we just want to ban smoking on airlines and no where else" argument.
Once you start "redefining" something that has been an old institution as marriage has been and worse, letting the Left do the "redefining", the possibilities are endless for twisting what the "definition" is.
Ultimately, they want [same-sex marriage] to be the stepping stone to legitimizing Islamic-like child marriage, pedophilia and beasteality. As well, of course, of destroying the traditional nuclear family.
It is the way the Left has always worked. Bastardize the language, demonize opponents and invent victims. And let the chips fall where they may.

As the great Moose-sama~ said so eloquently, "And thus is proven the more than infinite superiority of Atheist morality, compared to the a morality of inferior subhuman right-wing Fundamental ist Christains; all, with No Exceptions. And in just four words: Informed Consent. Self Control. "
Just as @Anon-e-moose destroyed MikeeUSA's argument before, he will annihilate yours, too. Perhaps even better than in the past--I can only wait to see the sheer wreckage he will form from your slippery slope "argument."
Ugh, he got me.
I really just want same-sex marriage to be legal because I desire to marry my pet rock one day.

"child marriage, pedophilia and beasteality."
You fundies love this stuff. You keep talking about it. Why?
Why is it that these idiots always go straight from "consensual relationship between two adults of the same sex" straight to kiddie diddling and animal fucking? Is there something they're not telling us?
@ChakatBlackstar
Smoking was officially banned for US domestic airlines in 1998. Most of them had no smoking policies long before that because other passengers didn't like breathing secondhand smoke in the recirculated air. Some countries still allow it.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to have the EPA come out and inspect all this grease you spilled onto this slippery slope.
Dopey Tuxedo Bird Guy, will you knock of that argument? It's getting really old & very useless.
Also: INFORMED CONSENT, DUMMY!
Yeah, us evil liberals, wanting to banned your cancer-causing crap from confined spaces, and advocating for fairness in marriage laws. Bad liberals, BAD.
ya spelled bestiality wrong. you can remember the spelling by using the phrase beast is best. ;-)
since marriage is a secular contract giving you certain legal rights and obligations the definition can be expanded to cover anything the majority of people want.
"This is just another example of the old "we just want to ban smoking on airlines and no where else" argument."
Well, if you want to smoke the Flesh Cigar of your fellow Whore Lie-Party Smells comrade-in-circlejerking Duckturd Dumb, especially if you're on an airliner together & both in it's toilet, we won't judge you, dearie! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
...and Duckie Dumb is a self -outed gay man, so it's not as if you in WL-PS have any arguments against coming out of that collective closet of yours too, Penny darling. X3
Legalization of same sexmarriage causing Islamic child marriage, huh? I bet the FLDS and Vaughn Oldham (super-duper fundie author of "True Love Doesn't Wait", which advocates insanely young marriage) will be interested to hear that one.
"Bastardize the language, demonize opponents and invent victims."
Oh, my. A very special shiny mirror, just for you.

Well, I guess when that never happens you won't get to waddle out your big "I told you so!" Sorry about that.
First off, no liberal wants pedophilia or bestiality to be the law of the land. Second, the nuclear family hasn't been the dominant family structure for a long time. Third, the definition of marriage is simple: A legal or religious partnership between two adults not related by blood.
As well, of course, of destroying the traditional nuclear family.
Allowing same-sex marriage isn't going to suddenly turn more people gay. And banning same-sex marriage isn't going to make gay people turn straight and become part of a "traditional nuclear family", either. So that whole argument is pointless.
Islamic-like child marriage
Yeah... rather than that Christian-like child marriage... You know, Joseph and Mary... she was his damned child bride!
Bastardize the language, demonize opponents and invent victims.
You ever tried not doing that?
Marriage, n. The state or condition of a community, consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two. Ambrose Bierce
That definition?

So, Penguin, how was marriage worse than an old institution? I believe in traditional values, you know. Like writing in grammatical English, spelling all the words correctly.
If you look at the comment thread, Gonzo is actually sticking up for gays...in his own way. I mean, he's at least explaining why conservatives shouldn't freak out over gay marriage (e.g. morality won't crumble, your marriage won't be affected, etc.). Well, props to Gonzo on this one for being the voice of reason. And I can't believe I'm saying that.
we just want to ban smoking on airlines
Following the normal logic of these people, if somebody smokes on a plane, I can shoot him dead to protect my freedom. Right?
Why is it so damn hard for people like you to grasp the concept of consent.
Smoking around other people adversely affects their health. Two people who love each other getting married doesn't affect anyone adversely at all.

This is just another example of the old "black people are humans too, so it's wrong to enslave them" argument.
You "redefined" black people from property to humans , and nothing horrible happened. I bet you can "redefine" marriage from legal contract between two consenting adults who intends to live together indefinitely to legal contract between two consenting adults who intends to live together indefinitely without anything horrible happening, too. Look at us here in Europe; most countries now have some form of gay marriage/partnership, and it hasn't led to anything other than adults getting married to adults that they love.
I'd say the left has returned the language to what is actually happening (from “streamlining” to “layoffs”), pointed out what opponents are doing behind closed doors (who are the Koch brothers sponsoring and why?) and supported “small” victims against multi-conglomerates. And swept up the chips that the selfish ultra-rich has scattered around them.
The reason why smoking is banned in airplanes. The risk of fire (the worst possibility) and the possibility of smoke inhalation if the smoke spreads, is extremely dangerous at such a high altitude because you can't call the firefighters when you're thousands of feet in the air, can you? Gay marriage harms no one but your delicate sensibilities. Any arguments otherwise make no scientific sense. Child marriage, pedophilia, and bestiality is considered wrong is because it harms people and because these people cannot give consent. It's just not comparable.
Confused?
