I'm not going to go into the story in detail here. In Europe we are strong on Human Rights. In the UK we have The Equality Act 2006 which outlaws discrimination, criminalises it.

A guesthouse in Berkshire has just hit the headlines, and my take on it is at http://timtrent.blogspot.com/2010/03/some-of-us-are-more-equal-than-others.html

I'd love to know what the non European folks think about this. And the Europeans, of course.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
