A cookie for the Kansas Supreme Court, who today ruled that you can't punish same-sex underage sexual activity if you're not gonna punish different-sex underage sexual activity to the same degree..

Says the court, "Moral disapproval of a group cannot be a legitimate state interest."

Being somewhat past the age where laws against underage sexual activity apply to me, I'm more interested in the statement than in the ruling, but hey. Even in Kansas, they're beginning to think maybe this sort of thing isn't quite fair.

At least we aren't Arkansas, Mississippi or Louisiana... or pretty much any rural southern state where laws like this aren't needed... It's just an accepted part of the culture... :-)
