Again, if Kansas wants to give everybody a 17 year sentence for this offense, they are free to do so. Are you sure? Mightn't that interfere with the essential expression of identity?
Anyway, the details do nothing to refute my point that Limon shows Lawrence doesn't just have implications for sex between consenting adults.
Let me be very clear for you and everybody else here. I am including all factors here. In Kansas, with a prior as a juvenile, and as an 18 year old man, you are sentenced to 15 months in prison for having sex with a 14 year old girl. With a prior as a juvenile, and as an 18 year old man, you are sentenced to 17 years in jail for having sex with a 14 year old boy.
Let there be no confusion here. The supreme court said the punishment must be the same. They in no way argued about the length a state can impose, only that the punishment must be equal.
