Guernsey
Guernsey is the second-largest of the Channel Islands. The Bailiwick of Guernsey (comprising the island of Guernsey, together with Alderney and Sark, plus some smaller islands) is a UK crown dependency, not part of the United Kingdom. It has its own government and laws.
In the Bailiwick of Guernsey, male homosexual acts were decriminalised by the Sexual Offences (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 1983, with the age of consent set at 21. The age remained at 21 until after it had been reduced in England and Wales to 18 and then to 16, provoking protests from local young gay men.[1]
The age of consent was lowered to 18 by the Sexual Offences (Amendment) (Guernsey) Law, 2000. The Sexual Offences (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Amendment) Law 2011 equalised the age of consent at 16 for everyone regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.[2]
