First thought: I do not support homosexuality Period.
Seconf thought: Many freepers currently freaking out over the age thing better ask granny how old she was when her husband statutorially raped her. Because MANY of the women throughout history were ‘under age’ when they got married. By the modern definition.

Which is the problem with the modern definition.

Heck, most people these days are so immature they don’t even START acting an adult until they are in their mid to late 20’s....

Back inthe 1800’s you were considered an adult in your mid teens because you had to be responsible to survive... Now a days people can skirt by with little responsibility until they are almost 30....

So once could make the case we need to move the age of consent up to 24.... A lot more easier than lowering it to 16....

Personally I think our education system is what is helping screw kids up and contributing to them being immature useless babies who play video games all fo the time.

But they were married, not engaging in relations outside of marriage.

Marriage is totally different from illicit sex, what to speak of same sex sodomy. IMHO the trend and push towards later in life marrying is not a good thing at all.
