In this case, the slippery slope was not to do with decriminalising types of consensual adult sexuality, but the conflation of the idea that any form of sexuality was acceptable and therefore to have no criminality attached to anything. This has been reinforced with the creation of sacred castes. So, using the above example, we went from *he's a homosexual so he must be a pervert QED* to *even though he raped a child, you can't prosecute him because he's a homosexual so you must be prejudiced QED.*
This is why it is important to establish lines and boundaries that cannot be crossed under any circumstances. Otherwise we will find that in our desire to be seen as progressive, the bad-faith actors will be looking to sneak their criminality under the radar.
