Finally

Genarlow Wilson, the young man imprisoned for having consensual oral sex with a 15 year-old girl when he was 17, has been freed from prison. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled his punishment was cruel and unusual. That's good news and I am very happy for him. Still, he lost two years of his life because of this. I'd like to think that this whole incident would be a wake up call for people and make us rethink our laws pertaining to issues of teen sexuality, but I'm not holding my breath.
