Using the logic of you slippery slope warriors, we should have never accepted interracial marriage since that could open up the possibility of gay marriage becoming accepted, which open up the possibility of other taboos becoming accepted.
You're partially correct.
The population should have realized at that point in time that it was ill-advised to have the government involved in the institution of marriage.
Each state should have opted to cease issuing marriage licenses and to simply offer contractual arrangements regarding powers of attorney (who can make decisions if I am incapacitated) and wills of possession.
Problem solved.
"But taxes"
Weren't an issue back then. Prior to the unconstitutional creation of the federal income tax and federal reserve system, there was no income tax and there was no distinction between married and unmarried families within tax filing statuses.
If we had kept the government out of it from the earliest signs of conflict, we would not be experiencing this issue, currently.
America will never legalize
Bestality
Necrophilia
Incest
Cannibalism
Etc
Oh, but you would be wrong:

"It’s too bad for Arnold and Lyons that they didn’t get busted for bestiality in Alabama, where having *** with animals remains legal. The Alabama Senate is just now addressing bestiality, voting to make it a crime in January. But at least for now, it remains legal. All I can say to that is, really?"

"As Stars and Stripes is reporting, White House and Pentagon officials have fielded uncomfortable queries on whether they are working to decriminalize *** with animals as part of efforts to update the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Interestingly, Congress is reportedly poised to remove the only specific reference to bestiality in the UCMJ, though officials say its removal is merely a legal technicality and does not represent any fundamental change for servicemembers and, by extension, service animals, the publication reports."

"The state’s highest court has toppled a cultural taboo — legalizing a degree of incest, at least between an uncle and niece — in a unanimous ruling.
While the laws against “parent-child and brother-sister marriages . . . are grounded in the almost universal horror with which such marriages are viewed . . . there is no comparably strong objection to uncle-niece marriages,” Tuesday’s ruling reads."

"It’s time to revisit these categorical exclusions. Without legal protection, a pedophile cannot risk seeking treatment or disclosing his status to anyone for support. He could lose his job, and future job prospects, if he is seen at a group-therapy session, asks for a reasonable accommodation to take medication or see a psychiatrist, or requests a limit in his interaction with children. Isolating individuals from appropriate employment and treatment only increases their risk of committing a crime."
It's coming. The argument has been building in the wings for some time, now.
Five is an appropriate age. Kids can kinda-sorta- talk then. They at least know how to say "no" - so if they don't like it, they should be able to indicate it, right?
Gay rights was inevitable, seeing as to how more than half the justices are liberal.
What happened to equal rights?
Therein lay the evil of these actions, kiddo.
The ruling by this supreme court just rendered us a lawless nation. Welcome to the jungle of the Banana Republic.
