Wait, how is the California bill censorship?
California already had a law prohibiting sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) from being performed on minors. The new/amended bill expands the SOCE ban to encompass everyone, and prohibits advertising of SOCE as a service (which makes sense since it's banned). That's it.
In any event, 'religious liberty' has become a dog whistle term meaning Christian privilege and superiority. There's a reason why it's a rallying cry for the alt-right. Hint: it's not to ensure that people of minority faiths are protected. Given that this comes from Sessions, it's all but assured it's going to be a Christian enforcement unit.
