| It differs from country to country, and part of the point of this debate is to discuss which country is correct in their limits.
I believe that a great of it has to do with the vulnerability of minors. There's a reason that they aren't allowed to enter legally binding contracts without an adult's signature accompanying their own. And sex is a rather large contract when you consider the possible consequences.
Personally I don't think that they are mature enough to really know whether they are gay or not before eighteen...and a gay man will sleep with a man who has slept with a woman...most women won't do the reverse. I'd like a different age law for gay sex, but that's really my personal morals, and I have trouble with the idea of forcing them on that minority.
EDIT: Where would I do a thread about the right age to have sex? (morally and physically, not legally)
