It seems to be alot of hair-splitting around the notion of consent. Also, some people doubting children's inhability to consent should just let their child walk at a busy road and tell them, go ahead, its always safe to cross. [/sarcasm]
It is remarkably ironic, since most of them teach them to believe their prefered religion. Fortunately some of us have maneuvre space to start thinking of our own, once grown.
The funny thing is consent is required for a hetero marriage as well, im not sure why its a problem now that gay people are marrying. I have never heard an argument against gay marriage that couldn't be applied to all marriage. If he is going to use the slippery slope argument than he should be arguing to abolish all forms of marriage because "traditional marriage" is what paved the way for gay marriage.
YES THANK YOU, that what I have been saying . Abolish ALL marriages once and for all. Simple
