It's the most simplistic and weakest sort of argument to make - the slippery slope.

If we allow people to do x, then it's only a matter of time before they will do y.

In this case, if we legalise gay sex, then it's only a matter of time before we legalise bestiality.

It's like outlawing slavery, or giving women the vote, or allowing inter-racial marriage. Such things were illegal because there were those who feared that allowing them would be the beginning of the end of civilization.
