The Big Question is Why?

 

Why Is it still ok to Discriminate on a persons Gender and Sexuality in this manner when we have laws against discrimination based on sexuality and gender?

 

Why do some states consider teenagers to be mature enough at 16 and others at 17 or 18?

 

Why in 2013 are Gay Teenagers in Queensland still being legally predjudiced against because of their sexual practices under the age of 18?

 

 

Wake up Australia!

 

It's time to...............

 

 

 

• the Australian Study of Health and Relationships — Australia's first large-scale national survey of sexual behaviour and attitudes — found that Australians are having sex at a younger age and with more partners than their parents.

         ( Sex Starting Younger )

 

• Study Shows that Early Puberty is Now Affecting Boys, Just Like Girls

         ( Male Puberty on the increase )

• The number of births to teenage mothers in Australia has jumped after decades of steady decline, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) recording a 10% increase nationally between 2007 and 2008.

         ( Teen Pregnancies on the Rise)

                       

 

Basically.............Teenagers are having sex Legally or not

 





 So i ask you...

 Should this be anymore illegal

 

than this at 16?

 

 or this at 16?

 

 



It's time to truly end discrimination... It's time for equality for Sexualities and Genders...

It's time to show every teenager in Australia their no Backward or Ignorant,Dirty, Worthless or Disgusting than anyone else because they are an individual sexual being...On the same journey as anyone else their age.

So cmon Australia let's have a common Age of Consent of 16 for all Genders and Sexualities in Australia in 2013.....It's Time.Same Age Same Journey.
