Object: OT: Petition For Queensland Sodomy Law Reform
There is a petition for law reform in the Australian state of Queensland to
call for repeal of the discriminatory sodomy laws still on the books. Only
residents of Queensland can sign, but if you know someone who lives there,
please pass this on and ask them to sign.

The text of the E-petition is as follows:
Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the current
Queensland Criminal Code discriminates against 16 and 17 year old youth
by criminalising one possible sexual activity, anal intercourse, with
penalties of up to 14 years gaol. As a result Queensland youth are
denied vital safe sex education regarding this sexual activity. Further,
gay and bisexual youth, in particular are denied peer acceptance and
community support because of this law.
The age of consent of 16 needs to be applied equally to all Queensland
youth to ensure that sexually active people between 16-18 years of age
are able to:
.. receive advice and support in relation to a range of sexual activities
.. undertake consenting sexual activity without fear of legal penalties.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to take action
immediately to establish a truly equal age of consent by removing
sections 208 and 209 of the Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899.
