They are not thousands of miles apart. The decision to legalize same sex marriage came about first as a result of persuaive arguments in favor of broader definitions of personal liberties to be protected by law. The same arguements AND the decision to legalize same sex marriage were sited as precedence in arguments made on behalf of pedophiles who sought the lawfully protected right to own child pornography.
Had the the courts not been persuaded by arguments in favor of same sex marriage, and ruled to legalize same sex marriage such arguments and the decision could not have been used to persuade the courts to recognize a pedophiles right to own child porn.
