I really don't understand what people are getting at here? If you are 18 and engage in sex with a 14 year old, you should get punished with x amount of time.

This guy has done 3 years, maybe it should be more. But, all the court is saying, is that if he had sex with a 14 year old girl, it would have been 15 months.

The court is specifically not saying that you can't increase the sentence to 17 years if you so choose. Only that it has to apply to everybody. The Kansas legislature is quite free and able to change the law to reflect that if they so choose.

You don't have to agree with the Kansas legislature's apparent belief that homosexual molestation should be punished more than heterosexual molestation to believe that they have the constitutional right to enact their belief into law.
