This is NOT a "slippery slope" fallacy because we are already at the bottom of the slope. There is NOTHING lower than gays getting married. Allowing polygamy and incest would be a step up.
Also there are more countries that allow Polygamy than gay marriage.
Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and too many others to bother spelling out.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy
Stop being a hypocrite and accept the polygamists.

Long as it’s equal and consensual, who the fuck says I do not?
Yeah polygamy is totally ok as long as everyone consents to it and is able to give informed consent honestly and form of relationship is ok under this.
For incest I don’t think it happens very often but with modern ways of birth control again it should not be indefensible to legalize it (again with informed consent)
Actually this makes me remember an old joke that the harshest punishment for bigamist are two mothers in law. I guess that one still stands
I will never admit defeat until my dying day.
If you’re defeated, you’re defeated. Doesn’t matter if you admit or not.
Imagine if the Cubs used this logic for all those years.
ETA: I’m actually not anti-polygamy, I myself do better in open relationships.
Same-sex marriage isn’t anywhere near the bottom of the slope, not unless you’re one of those really weird fundies who thinks same-sex relationships are morally little better than murder. Even if you’re one of those people who thinks all of the possibilities are equal, there’s still a “slope” in the sense that adoption of one could (theoretically) lead to the adoption of others. Typically, the slope looks more like this:
0. Only traditional marriage according to the dictates of my religion.
There’s some flexibility to the order of 6-8, as which of these seems most likely to happen first depends on one’s philosophical inclinations. Regardless, most conservatives want to dial things back to somewhere from 0-2, most liberals have long wanted to reach 3 or 4, 5 is a very much minority position, almost nobody wants 6-8, and the latter is not likely to ever change. There’s a real slope, but it doesn’t go all the way to the bottom.

...therefore the only one stopping you from getting on that next Saudia flight to Riyadh, then once foot touches ground there you reciting the Shahada : is you .
Or too Nervous -o to do that, Novuso...?!
...and not just about admitting you have already been defeated every second you're not doing so, methinks.

Well; Maybe sibling or cousin incest. Stuff like that involving Parent-Child just has that unequal-power thing and is just gross.
In a nutshell; If the two parties are fully-consenting and of similar age, and use contraception, then it’s… ok… I guess…
I dunno.

Yeah consent is important but let’s take the prime example oedipus. He didn’t know his mother for all his live so why would it be bad if they get together (besides offspring)
Someone from my family works in prison And he knows someone there who is doing time for incest with his sister. But they dated before they knew that they are siblings. What is wrong with that?
So the premise (or one of the possible premises) should rather be not knowing the other person
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
