If age of consent laws were set at 21 years for opposite-sex relations, do you not think that straights would protest?? In fact, since you bring that up, in many cases where age-of-consent has been lowered from 21 to 18 for same-sex relations, even though opposite-sex relations are 16 or lower (such as happened in Britain), this took much momentum out of the reform movement.

As you surely are aware, the ultimate objective of the gay activist movement is to achieve a vision where not a single discriminatory statute exists anywhere that distinguishes on the basis of sexuality. This is another dimension of that. The contention has been that age-of-consent laws should set a uniform age-of-consent without regard or remark to the sex of the couple.
