History was made yesterday. In a move that will hopefully be emulated and become the norm nation-wide, Governor of California, Jerry Brown, passed the "Yes Means Yes" law. The goal of this law is to concretely and clearly define, in legal terms, what amounts to appropriate and consensual sex. This law will help colleges and universities to handle cases of sexual assault on campuses, as well as helping to remove some of the onus and blame from victims statewide.

Let's give California some love and start encouraging our own law-makers to follow suit.
