Do you honestly think they're even close to being the same thing? At worst sodomy is something that a lot of people find icky. Child molestation destroys lives.

An end to disparities of "sexual orientation" in laws also means an end to differences in age of consent for "icky" sodomy and normal heterosexual pairings.

The age of consent has dropped for adults to have homosexual sodomy (the only type of sex that same sex unions may engage in) with a partner. In the majority of states that is under 18 (adults and minors). Even some states that permitted homosexual sodomy still kept minors from "consenting" to this aberant act with an adult.

Romeo & Juliet clauses in the laws permit even younger pairings among members of the same sex than normal age of consent barriers (below the age of consent as long as the persons are within several years age). This has been the case for heterosexual pairings and has been expanded to homosexual pairings.

Since the age of consent has DROPPED between adults and minors, how does this not fit a definition of sexual molestation? It all depends on just how mature the kids are we are talking about and if they can really consent to such an act with an adult.

Don't buy the lie. Homosexual sex destroys lives, or is the result of a destroyed life. I'm not going to bandy words like "sodomy" which some can twist to mean heterosexual oral sex. Homosexuals need help, not some mindless pablum about respecting their dignity. Of course we should respect their dignity. We respect the dignity of people with appendicitis too, but we get them to a hospital, not grant them the right to have appendicitis in the privacy of their own home if they want to.

Shalom.
