so it's ok for a 15 year old to hook up with a 25 year old? no sane adult would be interested in a kid. Too lazy to read the whole thing how exactly is this a disadvantage for LGBT people? is this the new equivalent of pulling out the race card/calling something racist every two seconds?

Well, I keep reading (especially right here on GC) that people's brains aren't mature until age 25 or even higher. There is almost always a strange, unspoken insinuation that the age of consent should probably be raised to 25, but of course this has a corollary, too -- that 18-25 year olds are not adults.

It is more what I call "Adulteen"(or in Portuguese "Adultescente"). When the person has all the necessary abilities to live for themself, but yet has problems making serious decisions. The best time to try working in several areas and study before establishing a job, a marriage, etc.
