If you read Justice Kennedy's majority opinion you will very seriously think they might do just that. He makes it very clear that history, religion, tradition or majority opinion are not grounds for prohibiting what most consider abnormal and immoral behavior.

I certainly don't base my opinion of pedophilia on history, tradition, religion, or majority opinion. I base my opinion on the harm it does.

Within 24hrs. of the Lawrence case a Kansas court struck down the decision against an 18 year old boy who had sex with a 15 year old boy.

They struck down the sentence, not the conviction, because the sentencing laws differentiated between homosexual and heterosexual conduct. If the 18-year-old had had sex with a 14-year-old girl he would have at most served 15 months rather than the three years he did serve, and certainly not the 16 years he was sentenced to.

And it's your opinion that there exists no rational basis for harsher laws for homosexual rape than for heterosexual rape?

Try this experiment:

o down to your local high school and ask the young fellows there which would be more traumatic for them, to be raped by a woman or a man. Then get back to me on rational basis.

The 14 year old and the 18 year old were both mentally challenged. Can a mentally challenged 14 year old consent to same sexual coupling with an adult?
