Years ago I came really close to having forum libs admitting that it was acceptable…today it seems that UN views it as such.
That minors/kids can have consensual sex. Now I know “some” of you will say it’s between minors…but that’s not the case. If they are able have consensual sex…what’s going to stop pedophiles?
Is this where libs are heading? Is this what LGBTQ and every other alphabet wants? Indoctrinated children into consensual sex?
Missouri State Sen. Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove) said on the floor Tuesday that he knew at least one person who got married at 12 years old and followed up with a comment of “Guess what, they’re still married.”
Instead of LGBTQ on that trojan horse, you could put youth pastors, priests, politicians, and coaches. You know, the ones getting arrested every day for grooming and having sex with minors.
Many US states already allow this, albeit with a minimum age of the minor (usually 16), and often with other factors (such as age differential, age of defendant) that must be considered
While being legal doesn’t necessarily indicate social acceptance, it does appear to be an indicator insofar as the law is allowed to remain.
However, if by your question, you mean “unrestricted access to minors for sex”, then no. I am confident that the vast majority of Americans, gay or straight, would not view that as acceptable.
P.S.-equating homosexuality with pedophilia is a tired trope.
With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.
Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them. Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.
The age of consent can’t be applied in a discriminatory manner. Some under 18 may be able to give consent. Shocking. There is nothing about carte blanche allowance of sex with minors. I don’t doubt conservatives interpret that to mean a green light for sex with “kids” anyway. In 38 states the age of consent is younger than 18. By the conservative logic used in this thread those states already allow sex with “kids.”
Question. Does one ever go read the original source material when one finds herself outraged by a pundit or an activist? That’s what I always learned to do. This report is readily available online.
Out of curiosity, what do you think happens when a person has sex with an individual who is unable to give legal consent regardless of age? Let’s say a 50 year old with a severe mental disability? A passed out drunk 24 year old? Is age the only requirement for consent?
The child must meet the same requirements for consent as an adult. That’s what the document is saying. If the child does not meet those requirements, they cannot consent.
If a 26 year old decides its a good idea to have sex with a 14 year old who cannot consent the exact same punishment for nonconsensual sex would be given with all the additional consequences for that 14 year old being a minor. Again, this document is not saying “every 14 year old can consent.” It’s not referencing any particular age of consent other than 18. Which is 1-2 years more than 38 of the states.
