I've never understood why some politicians want to treat a 17 and 19 year old dating the same as a 15 and 45 year old or whatever. Like its clearly not the same.

They don’t, but they want to make sure the 45 can’t legally fuck the 15 year old either. So the Romeo and Juliet laws were the compromise between “we’ll make it illegal for adults to fuck kids” and the whole “he was literally a minor yesterday and he could fuck his girlfriend, he should still be able to fuck her tomorrow.”  They were usually introduced together - the bill making it illegal for adults to fuck kids and the separate bill to make sure high school kids who turn 18 can still have steady relationships with their peers.
