The age of consent in NSW treats young gay men like criminals

As a result young gay men can suffer low self-esteem and are unfairly limited in their access to important health and welfare services.

The law is different for young gay men as the age of consent is two years higher than the legal age for all other people and there are much harsher penalties than
for everyone else. There is no reason for continuing to treat young gay men differently. The University of New South Wales has proven in recent research that not only is there no evidence anywhere in the world to support a discriminatory age of consent but that the unequal age of consent is actually harmful to young gay men.
The Government is unable to provide any evidence or any justification to support these discriminatory laws and whilst the government and parliament plays politics
and treats young gay men as criminals, young gay men continue to have limited access to health and welfare services at a time when they need it the most.

NSW is now the LAST STATE for equal and non-discriminatory age of consent laws.
