But the decision also means that we’ve started down the “slippery slope” that anti-gay-marriage conservatives have been warning us about forever. What can we expect on our slide to the bottom? Let’s see…
Next thing you know, women are going to start demanding equal pay.

Upside to slippery slope: this opens the door to being able to marry the Confederate flag emblazoned gun you've been sleeping with/kissing.

This slippery slope aint so bad.
