A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

See it’s not really a slippery slope argument though. It’s kind of like the pro life crowd. Saying if they get one thing that it will lead to others isn’t a slippery slope, it’s that we know the ultimate goal. Zero abortion for any reason. There is no assumption of it cascading, it’s understanding that it’s a stepping stone because their intentions are very clear. This is the same with anti-LGBT folks. They just want LGBT people to not exist. Whether that means they want to be able to pretend they don’t exist or other more heinous intentions such as “conversion” or even death, we know the ultimate goal. Zero rights, zero representation, and zero reminder they exist.

TL;DR: The laws these groups want to pass are the first or second of many. It’s a march towards a clear end goal. We don’t need to argue that’s it’s a slippery slope because they’ve clearly laid out the theoretical path they want to take.
