re: Equal protection can't be extended to NAMBLA.

So why gay marriage?


I've never said I was for gay marriage... in fact it's a non-issue to me, one of those silly things like the 10 commandments on courthouse steps. I really don't care.

Social mores and the perception that someone (the boy) may be hurt is the reason NAMBLA won't be legal.

You want to paint things as black and white, so you choose far out analogies. The law is always changing, always shades of gray.

Equal protection under the law is a very good thing, and it's applied in a pragmatic manner based on societies mores. Law is art not science.
