I'm getting a kick out of your bestiality examples but gay marriage wouldn't lead to much of any meaningful slippery slope unless the times change.
Indeed, it's changing perceptions about what is "normal," more than any particular logic (Rev's underlying point is valid, IMO), that is getting the gay community closer to acceptance. Perceptions are personal and driven by experience. As far as the gay community is concerned, perceptions are aided by more and more decent gay people coming out of the closet, taking positions of leadership in business and government, etc.
The irony is that it doesn't seem that Lord Obama is doing anything to help the cause. The liberals' savior is opposed to gay marriage and appears to have reneged on his campaign promise to repeal DOMA in its entirety.
