There are no quantifiable arguments to the contrary. Queensland must remain in step with the rest of the country on basic issues of human rights and dignity.

The youth are already having sex and to take away the support groups because of their age is damaging and putting them in higher risk of infections!

Queensland youth need and deserve true equity under the law at age 16, regardless of their gender, and regardless of whether they are attracted to the same or to the opposite gender.

It denotes them as different, inappropriate and wrong when they and what they do are none of these things. A big step towards equality and acceptance is the equalization of the age of consent.
