What he’s got there is a slippery slope fallacy, and a misrepresentation to boot. If we let X happen then something really ridiculous will inexorably follow. Therefore we shouldn’t let X happen. “If gay people get married, then we’d have to legalize human/goose marriages.” The one does not necessarily lead to the other. Besides, doesn’t ‘debate’ mean allowing the opposition to respond?
