    That’s such a weird situation because I do agree with the criticism of the age of consent being different for gay acts vs straight ones, but also 15’s a bit young there and they think it’s too high. Yikes.

        That depends on the state. The larger states tend to trend towards older.

        California, ~39 million. 18 Texas, ~30 million. 17 Florida, ~23 million. 18 NY, ~20 million. 18

        Pennsylvania at about 13 million is the first in population to see 16…

        over 1/3rd of the country is represented in the top 4 states there… and all would say that 16 is not normal…

        Yeah I understand that and I’m ok with it (though I prefer 18 with Romeo and Juliet laws), but 15 feels like they inched too far
