I think my favourite argument against gay marriage is the one that regards it as the top of a slippery slope which leads to things such as bestiality, paedophilia, incest and sex with your toaster.
It’s my favourite because it’s so very illogical. For one, it assumes a link between homosexuality and such things, thus betraying its own prejudices from the outside. For another, if there was such a slippery slope, then the thing at the top of it wouldn’t be gay marriage, but…marriage.
