Agreed-my man and I are both single-sex is part of our relationship-I didn’t know any virgin young men even when I was 17-and not many young women who were, either. Also-the widowed people I know-as well as myself-have partners but do not get a marriage license-if you are a surviving military spouse, you may lose significant benefits with a “legal” re-marriage-so a common law commitment will have to do.
While I just can’t get into liking homosexual/lesbian romances in films or otherwise-it just isn’t emotionally healthy to be into the same sex-but this film doesn’t sound like pedophilia or child abuse to me-16-17 is the age of consent in many states, including Texas. And a 17 year old is not a “child” in any sense of the word-like so many ranch/rural kids, I assumed adult responsibilities at 16-work other than on the ranch, school, living on my own, and parenthood at 17-and I was happy to do so.
The flick sounds like another attempt to normalize homosexual behavior on the face of it-I see no need to scream child abuse when we’re talking about a 17 year old of either gender, no matter their sexual preferences.
How many states allow sex under the age of 18?
