I'm not sure this's helping the gay image

Five years ago, a Kansas court found that an 18-year-old adult man committed statutory rape by performing a sex act on a 14-year-old boy. The man was sentenced to 17 years of prison. If either the "victim" or "perp" had been female, the perp would've been given 15 months instead. The ACLU has successfully gotten the Kansas Supreme Court to strike down that ruling as being biased against gays without sufficient "moral decency" argument against it.

(Perpetrator) 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."

Yeah, but he's still a peodphile.¹

1: Or so the conservatives will argue since the perp was 18 and the vic was 14. In my opinion, statutory rape is a shady gray area that doesn't count.
