The maddening "slippery slope" argument against gay marriage

I've been hoping somebody would cover this. Dahlia Lithwick holds forth in Slate: "Since few opponents of homosexual unions are brave enough to admit that gay weddings just freak them out, they hide behind the claim that it's an inexorable slide from legalizing gay marriage to having sex with penguins outside JC Penny's."

I'd thought of a few of Ms. Lithwick's points myself, but she argues them better than I might; she also covers many points I'd never think of. Interesting links, too.
