Kansas ruling shocks gay and lesbian advocates

Gay and lesbian advocates showed surprise and disappointment after yesterday's decision by the Kansas Court of Appeals to uphold the 17 year sentence of Matthew R. Limon for having sex with a minor when he was 18. Attorney General Phil Kline called the decision a "broad victory in protecting the institution of marriage." Matt Foreman, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force executive director, argued that the decision was unfair, showing "profound disdain and contempt for gay people."
