How a gay thread works:
>Serious conversation
>Deth posts against gays
>I post a pic of Rob Halford

And it all goes downhill

I'm surprised we had a page of solid discussion with this forum.

QFT. I was feeling pretty accomplished before these two assholes showed up.

In deths eyes, you're only allowed to be gay if you rock out with your amps at 11.

SPINAL TAP F.T.W

How about we just stop prosecuting 18 year olds for things they do with their peers who attend the same school that they do? Male, female gay straight or bi who gives a fuck. There is nothing wrong with a HS Senior dating a high school sophomore.

I edited my post probably right when you replied. I said the same thing you just told me essentially.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Yup I had missed that edit. Same thing at my high school. It is a complete non issue. The day before you turn 18 you are fine but add 24 more hours to your time on Earth and you are raping someone (statutorily, of course)

Wait a second? Doesn't the gay community want to be treated the same as everyone else? It seems unfair that they push for equal rights, but we can't hold them to the same standards? Nah, give them their rights, and treat them the same as everyone else. No special favors.

Did you even read my post? Nobody mentioned equal rights and nobody is asking for special favors. I was simply making a point that different kinds of people act under different kinds of pressures and in consideration of those pressures perhaps we might have a little extra sympathy for them. Anyway, orientation isn't the issue here. I only thought it would be fascinating to note.

It certainly makes relationships differ a little. I think Danielson is right with regards to the equal rights comment, but that's another conversation for another day!

I always find it funny to think I could get married but couldn't legally drink at my own stag night/bachelor party.

Is it not the case In the UK that if a male and a female < 16 are banging then the male's the one who'll get punished? Some of these laws are so completely illogical lmao.

Yeah it tends to be the male that would be looked at. Although they are pretty good (at least in my local force) at looking at each case individually!

If both are under 16 and it's consensual then nothing can be done I don't believe. If one was older than 16 and was was younger, regardless of their genders, they'd be done.

Honestly, the government or any law enforcement punishing lust because they are younger than the age THEY think it is right is moronic. It's got to the point where educating them about performing said actions safely is the key, and punishing it is simply redundant. We had an awesome teacher in my high school about this, and once she knew I was sexually active and under age, she gave me and a bunch of my mates this card that you take into "connections" (some place that helps young guys) where you get as many free condoms as you want.

That is way better than hiding away and doing it unsafely. Not sure how I got into a sex discussion, but yeah, punishing anyone because of a small age-gap is really pathetic. Is there any other uproar about this? If enough media attention was on this, it might actually force the government to change their approach.

Haha, we had that here. The place was called "answers" and you had to pass a "test" - putting a condom on a dildo :haha:
