While we're on the subject of law

That law was made to give judges more discretion on sex offenses. In current California law, for example, if a 19 year old has sex with a 17 year old, it's up to a judge to decide whether or not that 19 year old is a sex offender, as automatically adding them to a registry might not make sense in that case. Currently any and all gay sex with a similar scenario will automatically add you to a sex offender registry regardless, that law was meant to remove this as a point of potential discrimination.
Now one could argue that gay sex should still be automatic in adding you to a sex offender registry (hell I'm sure some retards here think it should even between consenting adults) then you're entitled to that opinion and the bill should've been criticized on its actual merit, but spreading lies that it was about pedophillia is just poisoning the well. If we're unable to have honest discourse about these things then nobody wins. I suspect that propaganda like that though isn't even spread to poison a well, rather in an attempt to mischaracterize the law of an entire state that leans away from the articles intended audience on the political spectrum
