Quite how often these penalties are carried out is a moot point, but it's there on the statute books.

What shocked me was three different anti-prostitution feminists asking me to justify that I had been a sex worker, to prove it. That either I hadn't done enough sex work by their standards, or I hadn't done the right kind in order to have the right to speak about it. I couldn't understand them. I'm not speaking for you. I'm not speaking "for" anyone. I'm trying to put together this picture of the different forces that are producing a result in the lives of sex workers. You can't contest the fact that tons of people are going to jail and experiencing violence.

One of things that surprised me when I was in Iran was to find out that the country finances seven times as many sex change operations as the entire European Union.

And then also we were put in the category of men having sex with men, the gay community.

As to what falling in love means, I'm uncertain. Love, well, it means simply physical attraction and liking a person at the same time.

In short, pornography is not about sex. It's about an imbalance of male-female power that allows and even requires sex to be used as a form of aggression. ...

Instead, needlessly stigmatizing and humiliating children who are being raised by the loving couples targeted by Virginia's Marriage Laws betrays that interest. E. S.-T.
