Why are you surprised?

If the SC can say it is ok to have SODOMY, then why is it a stretch to say it is ok to have sex with a 12 year old?

Consenual vs non-consensual. Minors cannot give consent. But you knew that.

I think a better example to attack the homosexual agenda can be found, better than the whole child/adult sex spiel. I don't like being put in a position to defend homosexuals, but trying to compare two adult males or females having sex, to an adult having sex with a 12 year old is a lousy example.

A ruling concerning whether two males can do something morally repugnant has nothing to do with how the legal system views the maturity of a child.

If the courts ruled that having sex with a child is legal, then they would in effect be saying that children are mature and responsible enough to deal with a sexual relationship.

If the courts said a child is that mature and responsible, then they would have to say that a twelve year old should be able to drink, quit school, smoke, drive, buy firearms, enter into legal contracts, see R-Rated movies, etc. because sex requires just as much maturity and responsibility, if not more, than the above-mentioned actions.

I don't think any court in the country would argue that a twelve year old can handle all of the above, so your children are safe.

Not taking a poke at anyone in particular, but people should teach their children to wait until marriage to have sex. They wouldn't have to be worried about their children running off and having sex with an adults, and if an adult did attempt to have sex with their child, there are already laws on the books dealing with rape (and if your like I am and somebody tried to have sex with your child, they would have a few extra holes to breath out of, if they were still breathing).

When the US was founded it was not illegal for an adult to have sex with a 12 year old (or even as young as 9 in some of the original states). Since that time, AOC has been rising steadily. It is now 18 in many states.

Do you honestly think they're even close to being the same thing? At worst sodomy is something that a lot of people find icky. Child molestation destroys lives.
