Well, then Limon is not really the right vehicle is it to apply the Sinkspur doctrine, because the case involved male on male. Upholding the sentence while noting that the law is unconstittional to the extent it lacks a rational basis for having a harsher sentence for lesbian rape, would be mere dictum.

I'm not sure I understand. The sentence was the issue, not the underlying law.
