Summary

This quote raises the argument of whether the redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples could lead to further expansions of the marriage concept.

The quote highlights the slippery slope argument often used by those who oppose the broadening of marriage definitions, in order to challenge the idea of same-sex marriage and suggest potential future consequences.
