News Wire:
Reprobate Judges Reject Deterrent That
Helps State Protect Children From 'Gays'
The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday unanimously struck down a state law that punishes sodomites more severely if they attack children, saying "moral disapproval" of such conduct is not enough to justify the different treatment. Justice Marla Luckert wrote for the court, "Moral disapproval of a group cannot be a legitimate state interest." Sex offenders and predators praised the ruling. The case involved an 18-year-old sodomite, Matthew R. Limon, who was found guilty of sodomizing a 14-year-old boy and was sentenced to only 17 years in prison. Limon's lawyer, James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, said: "We are very happy that Matthew will soon be getting out of prison. We are sorry there is no way to make up for the extra four years he spent in prison simply because he is gay."
