The Consenting Adult Sex Bill (Assembly Bill 489) is a consenting adult law, passed in California in 1975 and effective in January 1976, that repealed the sodomy law in California and made gay sex legal for the first time.〔http://www.unmarriedamerica.org/Archives/1975-CA-Consenting-Adults-Act/1975-AB489-CA-Consenting-Adults-Act.pdf〕 George Moscone, an early proponent of gay rights, in conjunction with his friend and ally in the Assembly, Willie Brown, managed to get the bill passed, 21-20, repealing the existing Californian laws against sodomy. The repeal was signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown. The Assembly had a much easier time passing the bill, with final vote on AB 489 being 45-26. Gov. Brown signed the bill on May 12, 1975. 〔http://www.unmarriedamerica.org/Archives/1975-CA-Consenting-Adults-Act/1975-CA-News-Stories-on-Consenting-Adults-Act-Passage.pdf〕 Assemblyman Brown had initially introduced the bill in 1970, resulting in an ugly five year fight in the legislature. ==See also== *1975 in LGBT rights *1976 in LGBT rights 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consenting Adult Sex Bill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
