Not exactly true. The court reduced the sentence since the penalty for homosexual sex with a minor was stricter than heterosexual sex with a minor. The ACLU was arguing that the penalty for both actions must be the same.

Another erroneous doctrine upheld. these are 2 distinct actions, why should sentence be the same? ... what foolishness. The sentencing for shoplifting, theft and fraud must also be same?

The sentencing for sex with a minor should be the same.

Should shoplifting penalties be different for men than for women?

No. But shouldn't the penalty for a homosexual who shoplifts be that same as for the heterosexual?
