He's got a point though. Back then, if you told me that letting the gays get married would eventually lead to trannies dancing around naked during "pride month", I probably wouldn't believe you. Because without actual evidence it almost sounds too stupid to believe.
If I went up to your average joe from the 2000s, and told them that jews have a ritual where they suck the blood off a newly circumcised baby boy's penis with their mouths, but didn't provide evidence. Would he be horrified at learning about it, or call me an antisemitic nutter and dismiss everything I just said?
You shouldn't let kids anywhere near it, but having proof of whatever you're warning people about is always a good thing.
This thinking starts to veer towards Scott Adams YOU WERE RIGHT BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU GOT LUCKY thinking. What proof is needed and would've been good enough? Maybe we should listen to history, traditions, and the years of experience of our elders warning us of these things because they know more than can easily be captured in a 'proof'. Honestly we should start putting the 'crazy' people who turn out to be right more often than not in charge of society because noticing>sources.

It's not that one enables the other. They're signposts on a road that goes downhill.
