I have to agree with this. I mean, we all know that one day will come where serial killers and rapists fight for their equality too. Legalizing marriage between two consenting adults is an obvious step in that direction. Not.

Pedophelia to an extent has before been common and accepted behavior in society, and is, to this day, accepted behavior in some regions. This is the deliberate denseness I was talking about in my previous post. We do have the capability to progress in that direction, and although it's an arbitrary and misguided gesture to prevent that possibility by starting with homosexuality, as if drawing parallels between homosexuals and pedophiles, it's not some confounding 'out of this world' suggestion. Adamjohnson said the age of consent in Idaho was about 14. I don't know if that's true, but if it is - there you go.
This has happened before on the surface of our planet. And although you were being facetious, serial killers and rapists
have fought for their livelihood, and the reason they are defeated again and again is because we can't sustain a society where people are allowed to murder and rape. But apparently we can sustain a society where the age of consent is fourteen years old. And absolutely - we can sustain a society where these tentative laws of consent, appropriateness and morality are stretched. I understand why people want to fight for that stuff. I don't. But I acknowledge the struggle.
