MPs were given a free vote for the Government's second reading of the Sexual Offences Amendment Bill and lined up to back the age reduction. However, it still needs the approval of the House of Lords — and that could be a problem. Club investigates. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— All the Goss 485 Teen Angst 195 IT'S YOUR LIFE p410

With 313 MPs in favour and 130 against, only one thing can stop the law being thj same for gay men as it is for heterosexuals — the House of Lords. Before it becomes law the Bill has to be approved by the Lords, who've already rejected it once — and seem prepared to do so again. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Mega-Zine 142 Pen pal fun 147 TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE p400

Home Secretary Jack Straw said: "It's not a question of one lifestyle against another or encouraging young people to have sex, it's a question of equality." "Young men unsure of their sexuality are not helped by having their private sexual goings-on dragged through court and publicised," said MP David Borrow. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Get Stuff 141 Write It 149 IT'S YOUR LIFE GUIDE p410

"During the sixth form and during my years at university I eventually came to the conclusion that I was gay," he told Parliament in the debate. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Shabby Shabba? 144 Mega-Zine 142 ALL YOUR TELLY NEWS ITV p110

Tory Edward Leigh of Gainsborough said: "This vote will send the wrong sort of message to the country." Teletext's New Centurions disagree. In their recent poll of 500 teenagers across Britain, an overwhelming 90% said that the homosexual age of consent should be 16. ——————————————————————————————————5/5—— Teen Angst 146 Music reviews 144 LANDING ON PLANET SOUND p480
