And it passed without a whole lot of debate. This is the Second Time Around that the senate had gotten this bill, ands you mentioned, the bill is on governor browns desk. If he signs it, it means there will be a lot more parents vaccinating their kids in the year ahead. A belief exemption is to prevent vaccinating your kids, that will no longer exist. If it becomes law, parents will need a medical reason if they want to avoid immunizing their kids. After january 1, 2016, that belief will no longer apply. Advocates of the bill hope this means in the future it should cut down on the number of outbreaks of diseases like whopping off and the measles with visitors going to disney lands. And this is now on governor browns desk. Mike and keba, back to you. I am a parents and i have two children who are vaccinated. Lets say they are not vaccinated and wraps if i have a personal belief exemption . Reporter they will be grandfathered in but it doesnt last forever. Their two points in a childs career to be proving they were vaccinated. If they are in the first grade, they dont have to vaccinate until seventh grade. Then that expires and they either have to have a medical reason from a doctor to show that they cant get a vaccine or have to go to home schooling or have to get vaccinated. Allie, most democrats vote inside favor and republicans saying this is government over reach. Any word from the Governors Office even through this whole process, will he sign this bill . Any idea . Reporter the only word we heard from the spokesperson is he put out a statement saying that the governor considers vaccines to be important and he would closely consider and examine this bill. I had a chance to talk with pediatricians in marin county. And he pointed out that two years ago, the governor did sign a related bill to have those with a personal belief exemption to sit down with their doctors first. Supporters are cautiously optimistic based on his actions on similar bills in the past. Allie, thank you so much. And a Supreme Court ruling supporting samesex marriage sent a surge of happiness in San Francisco. Gray and straight leaders greeted the news with a public show of support and energy in the city was at an alltime high. From bagpipes to cheerleaders, this years pride parade has something for everyone. By estimates, two Million People showed up in San Francisco for the parade that brought bystanders and participants together for celebration, and with the happiness, there was a sense of history. I cant believe it. I didnt think it would ever happen. I am ecstatic. Its the first to come out and celebrate making history. Everyone is having a great time. While there was joy, not everyone was celebrating. Ted cruz and Mike Huckabee have slammed the ruling which would likely become a big topic in next years president ial campaign and in studio is the Lieutenant Governor from the state of california, gavin newsom. Great to be here. Why do you think we are as a state, as a country from 15 years ago . We can highlight significant moments, and there are little conversations that i imagine are all over. We have a cfgz with a father, a mother who wasnt necessarily sure, but the conversations of changing Public Opinion and giving more room for elected officials to feel more safe and ultimately a how long the courts to take shape and make the Court Decisions, i think, shaping Public Opinion. Where were you when you found out about the ruling that morning and also d also, did you ever think in your lifetime you would see all 50 states samesex couples getting married like any other couple . No, in 2004, we married 4036 couple and there was tremendous passion but in went 05, 2006, 2007, 2008, there was a lot of change, and i didnt expect to see it. I had the opportunity to wake up and get in the car and i look at my cell phone, 7 02, and it was a Court Decision and joyous and extraordinary, and i dont think many of us, not just me expected to see this in our lifetime. A lot of strong words. One saying that this is a threat to democracy and the chief Justice Roberts wrote this court is not a legislature of whether or not gay marriage should be a good idea. You look at the history of the rightacy movement. If we subjected the rights of minorities to the whims of majority, we wouldnt have interracial marriages n 1967, blacks could not marry whites white. It took until the year 2000 for alabama to change the law to codify the decision and 40 in alabama opposed a how long interracial marriage. At the end of the day, the courts intervened do protect their rights. And the constitution was the winner. The constitution decides. Lieutenant governor, whats next . We see will setbrations all weekend long and saw it friday and throughout the weekend and the big parade yesterday but whats next as far as the counties in texas i believe that are not allowing gay marriage to happen. So its like yes, cause to celebrate but its not over for equality for days and lesbians. Its interesting. Friday is a powerful day and think about when we overturned the ban on interracial marriage, it didnt stop it wont change homophobia. We have to change hearts and minds. And we are seeing people asserting themselves, and the county clerks have to hold on, and i will give you the example of alabama, and its still a lot of work to do, and this decision is significant but does not tear down the scaffolding of the homophobia or hate of the lgbt community. And the one event you are most proud of . I am proud of my kids and extraordinary wife and faultily related issues, but when you have a 6yearold and s and grabs you and and says thank you forgiving me two mommies or a father saying, can i give you a lug . Thank you for letting me recorrect re reconnect with my son . Thats what were celebrating. At the heart of the matter, two simple words i do. And you feel you made a little contribution. At the end of the day, you make peoples lives a little bit. Your father comes from a different generation like my mother. What is their thoughts . Cant you call it Something Else . Six years to come around, and cant you call it Something Else . So honestly, when i say i respect and love people and they disagree, i really do and understand how difficult this has been. The water has changed for a lot of folks but at the end of the day, he legitimately came around and millions of others are doing that and will continue to do that. At the end of the day, looking forward to the future generations. Will be several generations where they will grow up and this will be the norm. They wont know different. I got a 5yearold and a 4 yearold and a 3yearold and they wont know that discrimination, and thats an extraordinary thing. At the end of the day, those are the things you hang your hat on, not a political title or career but the magical moments, all of us fighting for something a little bit better. Lieutenant governor newsom, thank you for coming in. Thank you. And we have all the latest on ktvu. Com. And its a crime that is becoming so common, its called a global epidemic.

And we are learning about a new one over here in the bay area. And rosemary orocco has more. Rosemary, its about keeping kids safe online . Reporter absolutely, and we have an app coming out in august, mid summer. Right. Reporter thank you for joining us, lee, and this is an app that will end the exposure of unsafe content for children and thats a very lofty goal. How does it work . We give parents the ability to see what the kids have access to. Reporter, 000 work . Someone gets into your app. Then what happens . Parents download our app for ipads in our first version and they create a profile for themselves and their kids and go off and prove content, and then their kids have access to that app. Reporter and you say this is better than what is already out there like blocking and filtering . Yeah. So blocking and filtering technology is used for kids that go and explore the internet. Its like cutting a coat of armor ongoing into a bad place. The internet that they see is the internet that parents have constructed for them. The starting point is a collection of safe content. Reporter and these children will be very savvy with little about the internet, and they love youtube, and give me an example of how your app will work with it. Its among the content that parents would approve. So they look at the video and decide for themselves according to their parenting style whether this video is safe for their kids or not, and they make an approval based on their age. Which is the youngest kid in my family i would allow to see that video and that piece of content . And that goes into our system. Reporter very interesting. And it sounds like this will be beneficial for sure. And coming out in august. And you can definitely get more information perhaps on our website. We will see if we can get more posted. And it will be available for the ipad only. First version. Ipad and iphone and then well get around to the other devices. Reporter and it was just confirmed you can get more on ktvu. Com.
