Link to article:The Blurred lines of the Affirmative Consent Bill
This article addresses SB967 which passed in senate August 28, 2014. This bill requires California College campuses to require an affirmative consent standard and conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. The phrase ‘no means no’ changing to ‘yes means yes’ with the hopes that stories will not differ if both parties can have a clear understanding of what consent is. Some have brought up the concern of what defines “Yes?”
What do you all think?

YES! I am happy about this bill. While I feel that it will be seen as a challenge for both colleges and many students, I believe that, more importantly, it will bring a clearer and more accurate understanding of consensual sex. Not only is “yes mean yes” a positive statement, but it leaves less gray area. Sex should be associated with very positive consultation from both parties, and it should be explicitly understood. In mainstream society there is a stigma surrounding verbal consent. This bill proposes the necessity of continuously talking with a partner. My hope is that overtime consent, via verbalization and continuous “checking in”.
