TGAC has a point.
There is a striking amount of religious logic in this thread.
While I believe that the majority of cases are so clear cut in being illegal, I must note that asserting such a belief does not require that I insist that others bow down to it simply because I said so.
There are much better reasons for being against a type or set of subtypes of relationships than simply a person saying such.
Take for example the issue of consent and being mentally capable, as well as the average person fitting both those categories.
I'd like to remind our moral majority crusaders that they have an opportunity to enshrine their beliefs in well thought out reason.
Pedophilia (average of all cases) is harmful and thus limited in law. The degree of allowing or denying such is variable, between jurisdictions. Minor differences in law alone allows for the possibility of edge cases that are undesirable.
