Gay age of consent unfair in Hong Kong
A court of Appeal has deemed the higher age of sexual consent for homosexuals in Hong Kong unconstitutional and discriminatory.

Hong Kong law states that homosexuals must be 21 before consenting to sex, whilst the age for heterosexuals is five years lower at 16.

Gay men who risk having sex before 21 face potential life imprisonment.
