You mean this one: if we allow gay people to marry each other, next thing you know we'll have to allow people to marry animals, or inanimate objects?

Surely you're smart enough to understand the fallacy of the slippery slope. there's no reason you couldn't allow one and still forbid the other.

Plus, two adult homosexuals are both able to offer consent. Animals (and dishwashers) are not.

I assume you're just f-ing with me, though, and aren't really this dumb.

Edited to add: I meant "dishwashers" as in kitchen equipment, not the people who was dishes. Those people can f--k whoever they like.

No, these people who make these kinds of arguments are not smart at all, that's why they're using leading if/then logic and using chains of fallacy to plea their case.

And this is why you should donate to PACCA, not PETA:

Ben & Jerry's ice cream to use human breast milk in their ice cream, instead of cow milk

Dishwashers? Oh that's so wrong! Come on, everybody knows that the washing machine is where it's at!
