Debi:  Good point, I could have picked a better example. However, the LGBT community were once the ones getting "bashed", simply for being different, and for committing what were victim-less crimes.  Because of the victims, child molesters, if they do organize, they will have a much steeper hill to climb.  In theory, they could organize and create a nation-wide PAC ... and if the "tip of the iceberg" equation is anywhere near being a correct number, and if family and friend sympathizers are included, they could create a size-able voting block.  The ones who say "Never in my lifetime" may be correct, but simple observation could lead one to conclude that stranger things have happened.  It is theoretically possible that they could eventually fall under the umbrella of "Hate-Crime" protections, and that the SOR could be restricted from the public.  Currently, if someone related to you is on the registry, everyone in your extended family bears "The Mark" ... "Probably runs in the family"!
