Which Slippery Slope Argument Wins in North Carolina?

[William769]

Dueling slippery slope arguments vied for the attention of North Carolina voters during a recent debate about the state's proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

"All persons are created equal but that doesn't imply, for example, that three people can claim to be married," said Republican House Majority Leader Paul Stam on Wednesday, according to video from the debate by ThinkProgress. "Rep. Glazier never answered that question: how he would he tell three people they couldn't be married once he told any two people they could?"

Stam further argued that "different things can be treated differently if the things or people are in a very different relationship." But Democratic Minority Whip Rick Glazier offered a correction, and then his own slippery slope.

"Different things can be treated differently, but people ought to be treated the same," he said. "People are not things."
