Reading over your posts you still don't get it that men and women may both engage in acts of sodomy. There is no "unequal protection". Mem and women are prohibited from committing acts of sodomy with members of the same sex. And this applies equally to men and women.

If you wanted to challenge it under "freedom of association" you might stand more of a chance, but not over "equal protection". And as it is discussed on this and other threads, some states which permit homosexual sodomy still make a distinction over the the age of consent for adults and minors to have sex.

Some states permit heterosexuals to engage in intercourse, sodomy, what have you at say age 16 (and that includes a partner of age 18+) while holding homosexuals in violation of statutory rape laws for engaging in homosexual sodomy below the age of 18. A "back door" way to throw out the disparity in the age of consent laws, eh?

No, you still don't get it.

Mem and women are prohibited from committing acts of sodomy...

Stop right there for a second. The act prohibited is "sodomy." You guys keep wanting to tack on "with members of the same sex" as if this makes the act of "sodomy" different. It's doesn't. It's still a mouth on genitals or however the act is defined. "Sodomy" is the same act: whether its for people of the opposite sex or people of the same sex. The act of "sodomy" is allowed for certain members of society but not for others. That's where the "equal protection" comes in.

See if you can wrap your head around this hypothetical: "Baptisms are allowed but they are only allowed for people of the Mormon faith." So all other people in other religions are not allowed to baptize. Clearly, not "equal protection."

Same thing here. The action (baptism/sodomy) is identical to both groups (Mormons vs Baptists/opposite sex participants vs. same sex participants). The only restriction on the law is the identity of the acting parties (Baptists/homosexuals).

If you don't get it by now, you never will.

Right and that's not "equal protection" either.

Some states permit heterosexuals to engage in intercourse, sodomy, what have you at say age 16 (and that includes a partner of age 18+) while holding homosexuals in violation of statutory rape laws for engaging in homosexual sodomy below the age of 18.

Again, not "equal protection", clear, obvious, irrefutible.
