Currently in California, if an adult (age 18 or over) has heterosexual relations with a teenager (age 14-17) and the age difference between them is less than 10 years, then the adult is not required to be a registered sex offender. But if the adult has homosexual relations with a teenager, then he is required to be registered as a sex offender. This rightfully recognizes the depraved and destructive character of homosexual sex (both physical and mental) and how it affects a child much more profoundly.
This disparity has long angered the homosexual movement, which has always been obsessed with getting access to young teenagers – and with being seen as normal.
SB 145 would eliminate that distinction for homosexual sex. Thus, adult homosexuals could prey on young teenagers sexually – as happens so much – and not be considered sex offenders. Many people have called it the “Sex Offender Freedom” Act.
Openly “gay” State Sen. Scott Wiener introduced SB 145. Wiener represents one of the most LGBT districts in the country: the entire city and county of San Francisco, CA. He is one of the most vocal members of California’s LGBT Legislative Caucus and aggressively pushes “groundbreaking” LGBT legislation….
California MassResistance began a full-court press on Sen. Wiener’s office with letters, emails, phone calls, etc., from across the state to urge him to stop the bill. The California MassResistance team in his district even attended Sen Wiener’s town hall event in San Francisco to personally communicate to him their outrage.
But early on, California MassResistance could see that the best strategy was not to focus on the Senate, but to begin pressuring the State Assembly (similar to the House of Representatives in other states). In March, April, and May 2019, California MassResistance activists throughout the state targeted key Assembly Members in their districts. They even showed up at the Assembly Speaker’s town hall event in his district….
As expected, SB 145 sailed through three Senate committees. On May 28, 2019 it passed the full Senate 25-3….
On July 10, it was approved by the Assembly’s Public Service Committee and was sent to the Appropriations Committee, where it basically ground to a halt. There was a committee hearing set for August 30, 2019 that was postponed. Nothing further has happened with it.
Right now, during the continued COVID-19 situation, the California Legislature is moving at pretty much a snail’s pace. And constitutionally, the entire session must end for good on August 31, 2020….
The above comes from a June 21 release by Mass Resistance.
And why is it that you still don’t believe homosexuals are after your children?
Why is it that heterosexuals are allowed to prey on your underage daughter?
YFC, why are you apparently unwilling to answer Kristin’s question?
No one is for sexual predation, regardless of the gender of the victims.
The article here is about homosexual sex, which is what is being addressed in Senate Bill 145.
San Francisco International Airport is naming a terminal after Harvey Milk, who, according to his own words, repeatedly had sex with minors.
That’s abuse, whether done by SF City Councilmember, a perverted priest, a teacher or coach, a movie producer or a politician.
Not all sins are crimes, but child abuse should certainly remain a crime as well.
YFC:
I’m ready to tighten both rules to (say) five years or less: let’s dust off the idea of “statutory rape” while we’re at it and punish both sets of perverts equally. Game?
Yes, Tom, I’m game.
YFC, then you are undermining your own so called community …
The homosexuals love to change the subject.They deny the homosexual sex abuse scandal in the Church (81% male with 76% abusing teenage boys and young men) they deny NAMBLA participation in their so-called Pride (pride in sodomy) parades and they deny that homosexuals have a much higher rate of abuse (heterosexuals 10% and homosexuals almost half) They can’t stand to hear the truth…Yes, they are already here for your children, in schools, and every major organization, tv, internet, and so on.
Or as Bishop McElroy calls them, Youth Ministers.
Hymie, that’s outrageous. The majority of youth ministers are not sexual predators and you know that. Instead, all of us should be thankful for those who serve our young people. Yesterday, I spoke with one whose (already relatively small) salary had to cut in half (due to decreased income because of the COVID lockdown), yet is still serving young Catholics. You owe them an apology.
The operative word was McElroy. And yes, he is outrageous. It’s a San Diego diocesan thing. You probably wouldn’t understand.

Hymie, then, who are the youth ministers, plural, to whom you are referring?
One corrupt youth minister doesn’t make youth ministers bad any more than one bad cop or teacher makes them all bad.
I don’t know what “it’s a San Diego thing” means, but I’ve had enough youth ministry experience, even with a few from the San Diego area, to know that they are not all bad. Some gratitude and charity would be appropriate.
I don’t know if you owe your bishop an apology, but, it’s too bad you don’t see that you do owe an apology to those who serve Catholic youth who you’ve maligned.
Deacon Craig, clearly Hymie was being satirical and McElroy makes no secret that he prefers his San Diego diocese draped in rainbows. Be upset by the bishop’s problem with the Church’s moral teachings on homosexuality rather than a little quip intended to mean exactly that.
Kristin, I understand what you’re saying, but, a “little quip” at the expense of “youth ministers” is inappropriate. Maybe because (before joining the Fire service) I spent six years in full-time parish youth ministry (in addition to part-time and volunteer work for many years) and know many fine Catholic youth ministers, including two of our children who spent years of volunteer full-time service with NET Ministries, a daughter and a son-in-law who also served as parish and diocesan youth ministers, the gross unfairness and lack of charity in such a remark is apparent to me. Hymie, doesn’t need to apologize to me, but he should to others he has publicly maligned.
And, I oppose dissent by any Catholic, clergy or lay. Draping one’s self in orthodoxy is not an excuse for being untruthful or uncharitable.
She gets it.
Hymie, the two men in the picture on that link, Joseph and Aaron, look like brothers. They have the same eyes, nose, smile, shape of face and skin color, except one is heavier set than the other. Did each “marry” his own brother? Something very strange is going on here.
To clarify: I am not saying they did marry each other, but it is a strange picture. It looks like the same man in his youth and when he is a little older and heavier.
One thing I do know is that there is a whole lot of one sided censorship going on as most of those blue links on the website you posted were blocked.
this bill has not stalled. Wake up. They are using Covid-19, the violent riots as distractions to sneak it through. It passed appropriations yesterday an then passed the assembly and senate the same day.
Call your Catholic governor ASAP and ask him to veto SB 145.
