If you live in California, I would move sooner than later.

Hmm... So its wrong to call someone the "wrong gender" but its a ok to purposefully infect someone with HIV and not disclose that you have HIV when giving blood....

Yea California sure has their priorities right.

Don't go deliberately misrepresenting change in law. That's wrong. Or, if you genuinely believe that's what happened, I'd suggest this video on the subject: 

He breaks it down excellently, explaining what the law change actually does, while still being entertaining. So your "it's a-okay to purposefully infect someone with HIV" is just pure bullshit. A misdemeanor is not "a-okay". Most states have it as a misdemeanor or less of a crime, so California was CORRECT (for a change) on the matter. Being a lesser crime like most states, and to match its own criteria for similar actions with other infections, is not remotely the same thing as approval. Not even close.

Don't get me wrong, I'd WAY prefer that it wasn't lowered to a misdemeanor, and still a felony, but they did not make it legal, let alone "a-okay". Again, see the above video. Matt does a damn fine job explaining the law change. Either way, the law (even its previous harsher-punishment variant) is almost impossible to enforce, because proving intent in law is ridiculous.
