California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed San Francisco state Senator Scott Wiener’s bill to decriminalize adult men having sex with boys after all opponents to the bill were smeared by the media and Wiener himself as “homophobic” and “anti-Semitic.”
From Breitbart, “Gov. Gavin Newsom Signs Bill Reducing Penalties for Sodomy with Minors”:
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a controversial bill into law Friday that will give judges greater discretion to decide whether adults who commit sodomy with minors should be placed on California’s sex offender registry.
The bill, which passed the Democrat-led legislature last week, created a firestorm as proponents said its main purpose was to end discrimination against LGBT adults who have oral and anal sex with minors who claim to be consenting to the sexual activity.

Scott Wiener (D), who introduced the legislation, said in a statement on social media the new law would put an end to “blatant discrimination against young LGBT people engaged in consensual activity.”
“It’s appalling that in 2020, California continues to discriminate against LGBTQ people, by mandating that LGBTQ young people be placed on the sex offender registry in situations where straight people aren’t required to be placed on the registry,” Wiener said.
“The bill squeaked through the Legislature on the last night of session, passing the 80-member Assembly on a bare minimum 41-18 vote before it was approved 23-10 in the 40-member Senate,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this month. “Several members raised objections to a policy that they argued condoned mistreatment of minors.”
The vote was straight down party lines:
There are times as a Senator when I take great pride in my votes & actions. While I am disgusted by this legislation, I was proud to stand with my Senate Republican colleagues on behalf of families, parents, & children to vote against #SB145 & to help #SaveOurChildren.#CALeg pic.twitter.com/tgl3hggnM0

Breitbart continues:
The primary stated goal of the measure appears to be to end automatic addition to the state’s sex offender registry list for adults who have oral or anal sex with a minor.
The Senate Floor Analysis of SB 145 states the measure:
Exempts a person convicted of non-forcible sodomy with a minor, oral copulation with a minor, or sexual penetration with a minor, as specified, from having to automatically register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registry Act if the person was not more than 10 years older than the minor at the time of the offense, and the conviction is the only one requiring the person to register.
California fails to mandate registration as a sex offender who commits a violation of sexual intercourse with a minor who is within 10 years of the offender. Sexual penetration is distinguishable from sexual intercourse in that the vaginal penetration is anything other than a penis.
“Additionally, the crimes of sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 14 are punished in a separate code section, as lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under the age of 14,” the analysis also said.
“This bill allows judges and prosecutors to evaluate cases involving consensual sex acts between young people, regardless of their sexual orientation, on an individual basis,” said Jackie Lacey, the Los Angeles County district attorney who wrote and sponsored the bill, reported USA Today. “I drafted this bill because I believe the law must be applied equally to ensure justice for all Californians.”
The legislation’s supporters are clearly focused on the newfound equality for adults engaging in any variety of sex act with minors who are as young as 14 years old. With the new law, adults who have either vaginal intercourse or oral/anal sex with young teens have an equal chance of keeping their names off the California sex offender registry if they can convince a judge the sex was “consensual.”
As I noted before, the law they’re changing was about keeping families together for the sake of their children. Wiener’s bill is about letting men have sex with boys for carnal pleasure and allowing liberal judges to let them off easy.
California prosecutors can already choose to charge men who sodomize boys with a simple misdemeanor.
The automatic sex offender registry was the last deterrent. This is defacto decriminalization of so-called “Man/Boy love.”
NAMBLA is now the mainstream of the Democratic Party in California.
Wiener hailed Newsom signing the bill as a victory against Q-Anon and anti-Semitism.
Proving again he‘s a true champion for the LGBTQ community — even when it’s hard — Gov Newsom signed #SB145, ending discrimination against LGBTQ young people on CA’s sex offender registry.
Thank you for seeing through the QAnon lies about this equality legislation. My statement: pic.twitter.com/MQlIIDxfnj

I’ve been subjected to a tidal wave of QAnon/MAGA anti-semitic, homophobic death threats, doxxing & slander regarding this legislation. #SB145 is supported by law enforcement, civil rights groups & sexual assault survivor groups. Equality & justice won. https://t.co/3IpHQaoweI

As I noted before, Wiener and the media demonized all opposition to the bill as “homophobic” and “anti-Semetic.”
Mother Jones:
LGBTQ Nation:
The Jewish News:
Wiener previously painted all opponents of the bill as homophobes and anti-Semites, writing: “Those who think homophobia & antisemitism are over are not paying attention.”
Thread: This week, I’ve been the target of violent, homophobic, antisemitic attacks from the QAnon/anti-vax right, including death threats (screenshots below). All b/c I’m authoring SB 145 to end discrimination against LGBTQ youth on sex offender registry. https://t.co/Yvq0n0JQlc

I have thick skin, but this has been scary, particularly with the assassination of a federal judge’s son last week. There is so much misinformation about SB 145 & it’s hard to track where it starts. Those who think homophobia & antisemitism are over are not paying attention.

A few Republicans denounced the bill but GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California doesn’t appear to have tweeted about it even once. I can’t find a single article on Google where McCarthy even mentions it.
Incidentally, McCarthy actually joined in denouncing Q-Anon just last month!
As a reminder, Dennis Hastert, the former leader of the GOP from 1999 to 2007 who was the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in history, was exposed in 2015 and 2016 as a homosexual “serial child molester.”
The Republicans who were willing to condemn this outrageous bill refused to point out the bill is entirely about lowering the penalty for homosexual men sodomizing boys.
Well what a shock. Newsom signed SB145, the bill that allows a 24 year old to have sex with a 14 year old and escape a felony conviction and requirement to be a registered sex offender. Absolutely disgusting.

As a parent I’m appalled that last night our governor signed a law maintaining a 24-year-old can have sex with a 14-year-old and it not be considered predatory.
An adult who commits ANY sex act on a minor 10 years younger must be registered a sex offender. Law must be changed.

They’re normalizing pedophelia. It’s not just Hollywood and Netflix. This is now becoming mainstream Democrat groupthink. It’s insanity and we must stop it. https://t.co/NPHTw4829v

This is our ruling class.
When Democrats talk about “our values” — these are their values.
The Democrats literally passed this law just before an election!
