All too frequently this argument brought up by people who are against age gap relationship between adults they personally deem "inappropriate". But what exactly is immoral about two consenting adults in a relationship?

  1. Interracial marriage became legal way before society became OK with it. If you look at polling done the US it shows that a majority of americans disapproved of interracial couples decades after it became perfectly legal to marry a person of a different race - the majority still believed it was not right for races to mix as late as the mid 1980s.
  2. Homosexual relations were also becoming legal since the early 1960s (depending on the state) yet polling shows that between 1973 and as late as 1993 more than two-thirds of the american public considered homosexuality to be "always wrong" on moral grounds.
  3. When Britain decriminalized same-sex relationships conservative judge Lord Delvin was pressed about what makes same-sex relationships wrong, he said that the "instinctual feelings of disgust" homosexuality invokes in many people is a good indicator that it is "morally wrong" ( ironically the same logic is used by woke people today: age gap relathinships are gross to me = therefore they are morally wrong.

It is absolutely hilarious watching otherwise progressive individuals (especially woke gen-z'ers) bring up normative morality as an argument against something that essentially is a thing between consenting adults. Yeah, slavery was once legal too, but the push to ban it was not a morally popular one either. In the states, and europe, progressive laws that tried to undo the stigma or injustice were often enacted by a progressive intelligentsia that was out of sync with the prevailing attitudes at the time, not on referendums. Are these people not aware of the logical trappings of their own arguments?
