JF, Equal protection under the law is a very good thing, and it's applied in a pragmatic manner based on societies mores.

So who determines "society's mores"? The majority, or a judge who overrules the majority based on "equal protection"?

I'd say when the majority of Californians voted to make gay marriage illegal, they made a clear statement of what "society's mores" are. I only use NAMBLA as an analogy of what might be possible (but likely won't be a reality) when a judge overrules "society's mores" based on "equal protection" and his own biases.
