So you would agree that this is at the least heightened scrutiny (even if the Supreme Court pretends it's rational-basis review)? And that, under some rationale or other, homosexual molesters of 14-year-olds enjoy the benefit of this heightened scrutiny (whereas heterosexual molesters do not)?

Actually, allow me to correct myself. If Kansas is able to establish a rational objective which requires the sentencing disparity, then the Kansas statute will get upheld under the Romer and Lawrence rulings, unless the Supreme Court issues an Equal Protection ruling in deciding Limon v Kansas.
