With the crackhouse comment people could start an argument about legalizing drugs.
Anyway, the main difference between how a crackhouse and gay people effect society is that actual stasticics seem to show that a crackhouse would increase crime, and probably has other effects that have been shown bt that I can't think of right now, with little or no positives. Allowing gay marriages, and improved gay rights in general, hurts some people's belief systems, but for sure it helps another group of people psycologically by getting them more accepted, into the prycologiand letting them cal advantages of marriage, which has more of an effect than the belief systems. A crack house has actual negative effects, while having better gay rights has some negative effects that people know for sure happen, but also some positive ones that are worth more than the negative ones that people know for sure will happen. Whether better gay rights destroy the "moral fabric" is something that people disagree on, and also is something nobody can show.
I mention gay rights because gay marriage is a part of them and my opinions stretch to other arguments that may come up.
About whether the argument is infallible, no ti isn't, but it's still pretty good.
