Letter: Commons vote continues to make criminals out of young homosexuals

Sir: One argument used by those opposed to lowering the age of consent for homosexual men to 16 is that men mature more slowly than women. If that is so, should men be given the vote at the same age as women? Perhaps 29 would be a suitable age for male suffrage.

Yours sincerely,
