I am not aware of any countries in Europe that allows children of 14 to have sex with adults!
clearly with one another – IF both are willing and no one is exploiting the other – cause you don't want kids to do sth. criminal if they only try out/ whare what we did likewise. but clearly sex between children and adult is allowed nowhere in Europe were I am aware of.
and why WOULD "the Gays" have such a thing on their agenda?? it makes no sense at all!

Congratulations on your marriage, I am very sorry that it could not be done where you live. I'm from North Carolina, a very small town in which you've probably never heard but it's right next Cherry Point, the military base. Growing up in a Christian and military orientated town was probably why coming out was so difficult for me. Originally, I was suppose to be left handed however my mother believed in said superstition and took it upon herself to force me to write with my right hand. And I'm sixteen – which I never state so publicly as I'm often regarded as ignorant or simply too inexperienced to be involved with such important matters but I've stated so to further your point in that such senseless and idiotic beliefs should never be able to manifest themselves in such a high society as ours, but from what I've seen in people our mentality and open mindedness has done little to grow and expand and has instead, regressed.

And you are very correct, this trial does effect the United States as a whole. Such points addressed in this case are points that would may have profoundly changed the mind set of some Americans who flipped to the news – assuming some of the youtube footage would be broadcasted, which I wouldn't doubt it would be – and saw something actually important in our society instead of the latest news of Tiger Woods' sex scandal.

And thus, endangering every lie and infestation of fallacy they and mongrels like them have spent generations to uphold. It was a low blow, but certainly not the end. I still believe we can win this; we'll expose the wizard and his simple mind tricks. I'm very confident, the world will see this light, soon enough.

I just hope he doesn't come out of the closet. I watched him in court and he's repugnant.

I am Chinese, and am completely embarrassed by Tam's testimony. He says it's important for Asian families that their children don't wonder about who they should marry. Would we rather we revert back to arranged marriages?

He can't recall where he read the info that he's basing his testimony on. He believes everything he reads on the internet. He never bothered to backup his views with actual science. He talks about same-sex marriage and the age of consent in Canada. Let me clarify facts for you, Mr. Tam:

The age of consent was 14 yrs since 1892. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2005. Then the age of consent was changed to 16 in 2008. So, in reality, the age of consent was RAISED after same-sex marriage was legalized.

And then there was this:

"Frankly, I don't know who was on. They all sound alike. ENGLISH IS NOT MY MOTHER TONGUE!

[...]

I never knew that, as a Chinese person, I would be facing a lawyer asking me all of these questions."
