It's legit and this senator is putting it back up. He's also claiming it somehow discriminates against the LGBT? https://www.dlawgroup.com/california-senate-bill-145-misguided/

holy shit this is a mess and one fucked up perspective...

The issue in question concerns how the law views different types of sex crimes involving minors. Under existing law, illegal sexual relations between a teenager age 15 and over and a partner within 10 years of age do not automatically require the offender to go onto the sex offender registry if the offense in question involves vaginal intercourse

So because we let men have "dubious consensual sex" with female children, we have to open the door to everyone? holy hot shit, a 24 year old and a 15 isn't necessarily assumed wrong or illegal? never moving to California. Knowing this, it really sets the perspective that they are working towards making pedophilia legal, or at least, less punished.

**Edit "disproportionately targets LGBT young people for mandatory sex offender registration since LGBT people usually cannot engage in vaginal intercourse" There's a B and an L in that acronym. T doesn’t describe what parts they have or how theyre using them. The laws talk about sexual penetration, not intercourse. why is he referring to a law about having sex with children as intercourse?

Good point, "inter-" implies a mutual exchange.

"Intercourse" is just a dry, technical sounding term for "sex". 15-year-olds certainly do this, as much as we hate it.

Yes, when they are close to the same age of course. Otherwise it's not really mutual because of the age/power dynamic, and using that word is implying the wrong thing. It's a euphemism trying to hide the nature of the relationship.

Yes, but "intercourse" implies nothing beyond PIV and some movement. It doesn't imply anything about age or consent or anything else. It's a word that can be used when someone has sex with a horse. So your concern is unwarranted here.
