Here's what I found on Pete Tatchell's website:

In particular, this article is a good read:

He advocates lowering the age of consent primarily in regard to consenting parties of similar ages. He also acknowledges the potential for abuse, but according to his research, only a small percentage of those prosecuted are over age 30.
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
It's in the music...

I understand the many reasons why in particular Chris is championing Peter Tatchell. However, he in my honest opinion does far far more to set the equality cause back with his call for the age of consent to be 14.
Why "in particular Chris"?
