Description

Gay rights campaigner PA Maglochainn is at Queen's University Belfast, campaigning for the lowering of the age of consent from 18 to 16. He argues that the current rules are alienating young gay people and this is having disastrous effects. This report features interviews with Maglochlainn and two clergymen. One is totally against Maglochlainn; the other believes in the right for each individuals' wellbeing and happiness and supports Maglochlainn.

There are also vox pops with students, who are largely sympathetic, and other members of the public who are primarily opposed. This fascinating report captures changing attitudes.
