HONG KONG (Reuters) - The Hong Kong government on Friday appealed a court ruling last month that a law which prohibits sex between consenting males below 21 was a violation of human rights.

A spokesman for the territory's judiciary said no date had been fixed yet.

Michael Vidler, the lawyer for a 20-year-old homosexual who challenged that law in court, said he was surprised the government was challenging the ruling.

I got an even better idea for them- how about they move the age of gay consentual sex to death.


Ah let them choose. If they want to be condemed to hell. Well so be it. But lets just remember to keep showing them the light and if they choose to push it away well not much else we can do.

Probably the intent of the law is to ensure the individuals are of an age that reflects "knowledgeable consent". I'm kind of wondering if this sort of sex - and I'm using my imagination here - actually constitutes sex that is comparable to sex between opposite sexes.
