Problem is stupid people see the word fallacy and think it automatically means the argument is wrong or not worth considering. When all it means is it's not sound, as in not absolute.
Sound logic is supposed to work like math, it's a way of determining something is objectively true. That's why some common patterns of logic, like slippery slope, are fallacies, because they're not absolute. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but people see the word fallacy and assume it means false.
Agree with everything you said, a fallacy is an argument not based on logic. The sad thing is that fallacies work. Why spend 30 minutes giving a logic debate on a subject when you can take 5 seconds and say, "That dude is a Nazi. Why are you listening to Nazis for?"

Fine. But when it comes to acceptance of homosexuality and it's spread to other societal ills, it has been absolute. At least so far.
