Yes, but I think that KnightWing is correct. If you recall
the history of the gay rights movement, and indeed the Civil
Rights movement, the first reaction by the defenders of the
status quo is one of *increased*, not decreased, repression.
That's what we're seeing with adult-juvenile sexuality.

I also think that the gay rights movement is illustrative
for another reason, because (at least in the US) it's largely
a history *legal* defeats and yet social victories. Despite
these legal defeats, people voted with their feet, (uh,
their genitalia?). Just now the law is beginning to throw in
the towel in the gay rights movement, in even then only in
some jurisdictions.

I also applaud KnightWing for hinting 'gay marriage' for what
it really is--an attempt to incorporate homosexuality into
traditional social structures, and hence a conservative, not
a progressive, response.
