Liberalism's permission of freedom of the will, combined with social network effects and the disconnection from nature that technology has brought, leads to exactly this kind of social contagion. There will be more things like this - weirder and weirder - as Piss Earth begins. It's very clear that conservatives were completely correct - the sexual revolution, gay marriage and so on were all on a slippery slope. And we're still sliding.

Agreed, although it wasn't gay marriage alone, it wasn't the sexual revolution alone. It's the entire ideology of progressivism, no matter where we are there are more freedoms to be gained, so it gets more and more extreme. There's no moment that progressives, as a group, would say "alright, this is far enough". For them, there's always a new battle, their ideology is centered around "progress" after all.

I don't think the sexual revolution, or gay marriage, are what caused the slippery slope. They were merely part of progressives goal to keep going and remove more and more taboos.
