Hi I don’t know about many of you, but I find Romeo and Juliet laws (close in age exception) to be dehumanising, discriminatory and have negative impacts on MAP’s, youth Lib and AAM’s for these reasons.

1. It implies that sexual/romantic relationships between teenagers and adults/people much older ...

[*]Special protections for 12–15-year-olds
Sexual contact involving someone in this age group would still be subject to prosecution—but only upon complaint, and only if the older partner deceptively exploited the younger person’s lack of knowledge, interest, or emotional capacity.

The problem is, whether there's contact or not, the expectation is that adults aren't supposed to interact in any way with kids not their own, unless they're in a job where it's required.

B4U-ACT would not use the language "Destigmatize MAPs".

The title of your petition mirrored the language used to criticise MAP initiatives and draw the lines against violating community standards, literally the "glorification of pedophilia" as an "identity".

Because your petition violated ...

It would be nice to also acknowledge that grooming, exploitation isn’t always perpetrated by the adult/someone older. Kids/teenagers can groom, exploitation and take advantage of other minors and/or adults. Sometimes the older partner may be more innocent and niave and the younger person (minor ...

Grunko

I know society and many MAP communities believe anyone who has attractions towards minors should avoid social contact with them and should never be allowed anywhere where minors are present.
