This might be the California version of a "Romeo and Juliet" exception where older teenagers who consensually engage in sexual activity are not held to the same standard as child predators (teachers, coaches, parents, aunts, uncles). I assume age of consent is still 18 in California. In many states it's 16.
It’s homosexuals. These laws have in mind that it’s statistically NORMAL for homosexuals to pursue minors for sex.
No I get that. Just wondering why vaginal intercourse is not included. The one activity gays dont participate in. And I hear you on sex between consenting teenagers. But with your two examples, the youngster could be as young as 8 or 6. And I would call that predatory.
