Progressive Democrats in the State Senate, including San Francisco's State Sen. Scott Wiener who wrote the 2021 law to decriminalize some prostitution laws, worried the loitering aspect of the bill would have disproportionate impacts on Black and Brown people and the LGBTQ community.


Scott Weiner is a pedophile

Not that I’m terrible worried about it, but I thought that already was illegal; to “Buy” a 16 or 17 y/o for prurient, or inappropriate purposes.

For teens? Then Adam Schiff is safe since the male prostitute who died when having a drugged sex romp with Schiff was 10.

“””How in the bloody hell is purchasing under age sex slave snot already a felony?!?”””

A felony in California is probably just a 20 dollar fine anyway.

Why do you need a new law for this? Should already be a law or laws on the books for this. Trying enforcing the laws already written.

Must be planning on running . Didn’t California pass a law a while back that if caught having sex with a minor, the penalty was way less of the minor was same sex as the perp.

CRACK DOWN on criminals who buy teens for sex? Does Newscum do anything beneficial for voters when he’s NOT campaigning for President?

Sounds like they have their own country going on over there.

The last I knew, purchasing sex from anybody / any age was considered prostitution and illegal period.


I think what we’re talking about (under age) would be considered to be “rape” in most other states.

Because Gavin and his buddies don’t want to SELL them . They only want to rent them out by the hour.
