No, it won't. Why? Because in addition to social conservatives not wanting to lower the age of consent, militant feminists don't either. They believe that sex between a grown man and a teenage girl is rape. NAMBLA has no friends on the left, nor right.
I'm not a "defeatist". I'm a realist. I'm smart enough to understand practical realities, demographics, law, and the legislative process. Prohibitions on homosexual marriage will be struck by the Court, probably within the next five years, and there isn't the political will to pass a constitutional amendment. If you think there is, you don't have any idea how constitutional amendments are passed.
Yup. We won on abortion, didn't we. We were ASSURED that it was ONLY in the case of incest, rape and the life of the mother. It would NEVER be used as birth control.
militant feminists don't either.
You mean those women that are all over islam for women's rights?
They believe that sex between a grown man and a teenage girl is rape.
They back what is politically expedient at the moment.

You're also not a conservative.
I agree - as perverse as the idea of legalized gay marriage undoubtedly is, it still is a choice of consenting adults and affects how the Courts would see it. NAMBLA is an impossibility at every level that I can think of and conflating gay-marriage with it is absurd.
