"In one of the first consequences of its landmark ruling on gay rights on Thursday, the Supreme Court today set aside the lengthy prison sentence imposed on a gay Kansas teenager for having had sex with a younger boy."

Now while I agree that the sentence he was under was severe, that is not the point. The point is, there will likely be a rush on the courts, often at taxpayer expense I might add, to revisit or even overturn other convictions involving homosexual assaults. This is a real case that IS being revisited as a direct result of the ruling, so I did not make it up. I point it out as simply a foreshadowing of more outrageous actions that will inevitably follow. As I said before, this is only the beginning.

I would think not, given that the Lawerence case involved making consensual same-sex activity illegal. Sexual assaults are still criminal, no matter what the gender combinations are.
