Actually there is no consensual age allowed in NC.... it's against the law. See the link below!

I live in North Carolina, and I've heard it is 18 before. I'm not 100 percent sure though. Sorry.

It would be the same as for heterosexuals; according to http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm that's 16. North Carolina had a law against gay sex but it was invalidated by the Supreme Court.

The age of consent for both heterosexuals and homosexuals is one in the same. The age of consent merely refers to the age at which an individual can consent to an adult relationship (sexually active etc...). The age of consent in North Carolina is age 16.
