I completely disagree with your whole point. One reason is that I do not find slippery slope arguments appealing. People have claimed many acts as being immoral, claimed that the cultural shift of those acts being moral or amoral would lead to worse acts being deemed moral, and then watched as these predictions didn't come true. Letting in Irish immigrants used to be seen as immoral, particularly because they were largely Catholic, but allowing Irish immigration and Irish workers did not lead to any disastrous results like some predicted.
