I guess this is the reason lot of corporates try to stay out of politics. Because once you set a precedence then people will use that as to push their own political agendas. I personally don't like the slippery slope argument since it's very lazy and justifies inaction in many cases. But at the same time when I see news like this, I just wonder how long it will take two different subgroups trying push their own conflicting agendas and how the company should react in such a case.

I think the slippery slope argument is actually quite relevant here. In my opinion it is about how you argue things. If the CEO or who has power just says "I decided to drop this client because of my personal advocacy" then there is no slippery slope, if they say "this client is too immoral we cannot support them" then you are very easily open to direct comparisons.
