Edgar, The laws in the USA are changing to support pretty much what you've suggested with one small but very important caveat: the sex has to be between consenting ADULTS. Each state in the USA has an 'age of consent' and it varies from 16 to 18. In Florida where this incident has occurred it is 18.
So...in Florida a person has to be 18 to consent to sex. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], Edgar Owen <edgarowen@...> wrote: > > Tim, > > This is not a one person lesbian issue.
