Next taboo to fall will not be trolling stupidity.

Is there anything that is sexually taboo in a world where you can hang the American flag upside down?

Fortunately, banning idiots is not taboo here.

That's an unlikely follow up. Polyamorous relationships, however, make more sense. If we don't care what goes on between 2 consenting adults, why do we care what goes on between 3 or more consenting adults? There's historical and cultural precedent for polygamy. As long as we're not talking the weird incest and pedo version that has been in then news from the Mormon offshoots lately, what's the problem?

Society is not beginning to accept it. In fact it is rightfully and overwhelmingly rejecting it.

That probably will be the next step. Why should marriage be strictly defined between 2 people? Surely 3 people can be in love and united, too! Or 4, 5, 6...
There's actually no definitive source on what marriage is, unless you happen to believe in God. Laws and cultures can change. What is wrong and taboo to society today could very well be acceptable in the near future. It doesn't take as long for societies to change anymore.

What are you talking about. Gay adults are not like kids or animals. They can make rational, informed, decisions regarding how to live their lives.

How one can jump from consenting adults to minors and animals unable to lawfully consent is beyond me.

It shows a severe lack of logical thinking.

The ONLY slippery slope gay marriage possibly can lead to is polygamy among consenting adults.

Soon after the first Man/Hamster Marriage Law. Soon I hope, Hamsters have a short Lifespan and my love for Chuckles is REAL! Took a Purity Pledge, so only a License will do!!

When the scream and rationale is "I want equal rights for what I put my peter in", it is a slippery slope.
