"Existing state law allows judges to decide whether adults who have “penile-vaginal intercourse” with minors must register as a sex offender.
Wiener said the current law targets LGBT individuals because they do not engage in penile-vaginal intercourse."
A glaring problem with this line of reasoning: Sometimes straight pedophiles sodomize their victims.
Child molestation is child molestation and it is a crime or it is not. All they're doing is redefining what constitutes a molester rather then redefining what constitutes a victim. This is akin to saying that if Tom murders someone with a hammer he should get twenty years. But if Harry murders someone with a hammer, he should get ten years because Harry is a carpenter.
