Thing is though, there are different levels of pedo, and 16 or 17 isn't scummy Democrat pedo, it's the kind of pedo that's legal in about half the states.
Can they classify homo as a mental illness and make it a crime again? Having sex with a 16 year old doesn't seem anywhere near as pervy and weird as fag and tranny. Where it's illegal it's illegal, but there it's legal it's legal and it isn't weird at all. There might be good public policy reasons for making it illegal, but not because it's fucked in the head.
