But the age of consent is a measure imposed by society, some societies don't have it at all.

I believe it's a grey area when it comes to teenagers... but when we're talking about inflicting physical or psychological harm to a defenseless child, I believe that's when society must step in.



Now, if a majority of our societyis against gay marriage, to the point that the most liberal stateopposed it by referendum, why are we extending it, based on "all menare created equal"?

today they're against gay marriage, tomorrow they're against mixed marriage, next day it will be the Jews... this is why the rights of minorities will hopefully always be protected in our society - no good can come out of pure democracy.
