Court Rules Kan. Can't Single Out Gay Sex

Basically, the Kansas supreme court said that no matter how repugnant a particular offense might be, it cannot be made to warrent a stiffer sentence simply because it is distasteful, and underage homosexual encounters should not be held in a lower regard than underage heterosexual ones.

Really now? So sex crimes are sex crimes huh? So if a man sleeps with a 17 year old girl in a state where the legal age of consent is 18, then he should be held as culpable as another man who sleeps with 9 year old girls?

Isn't it societies JOB to determine the severity of a criminal act predicated upon the perceived heinousness of such act? All sex is the same, the judges say, and that, my friends, is simply wrong. I'm not dissing homosexuals, I'm telling the court that there IS a difference as to what the people decide is a worse or lesser offense. In Fwance, the legal age of consent is 12, but here in the states find that repugnant and have made it a criminal act. And if AGE can matter, then so can other variables.

West Virginia and Kentucky not included, of course.

And does this have anything ot do with the constitutional right of freedom to travel? Still working on that one...
