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.

In a brief order with little elaboration, the court vacated the 17-year sentence imposed in 2000 on the defendant, Matthew Limon, and returned the case to the Kansas courts "for further consideration in light of Lawrence v. Texas."

.
.
.
Matthew Limon was one week past his 18th birthday in early 2000 when he performed oral sex on a 14-year-old boy at the center for developmentally disabled young people where they both lived. No violence or coercion was involved.
.
.
.
The American Civil Liberties Union has rallied behind Mr. Limon's case. The organization says it is not challenging a state's right to punish older teenagers for having sex with younger ones,[red](not YET at least)[/red] but rather that the rules should not be different for same-sex couples and heterosexual couples.

This one falls in the "grey area" which will inevitably expand to blur all distinction between adult/child sexual activity.

That makes a difference and that the laws were different for Hetros.

Granted, they weren't from guys, but I'm pretty sure it all feels the same with the lights off.

-D-N-: Say, didn't you just get engaged. Easy, stud...the bachelor party is a ways off! [;)]

What is the age of consent in TX? Do developmentally disabled young people fall under the same guidelines when it comes to age of consent? There seem to be quite a few different angles to attack the Kansas decision w/. I don't like the 17 year sentance handed down, but the legal end run (pun not intended) is much worse for the people.
