kansas goes romeo and mercutio

from an ap article about a law that is being - thankfully - expanded, to apply to the gays as well...

Kansas law prohibits any sexual activity involving a person under 16, regardless of the context. The 1999 ''Romeo and Juliet'' law specifies short prison sentences or probation for sexual activity when an offender is under 19 and the age difference between participants is less than four years -- but only for opposite-sex encounters.
because "romeo and juliet" wasn't at all fucked up.

in other news, massachusetts law prohibits the use of drugs, unless you're using them to subdue someone into having sex with you - someone of the opposite sex.
