New Federal Obscenity Prosecution

[maxpower]

Porn has been a part of society since the middle ages.

Legal or not sexual expression is a part of the world we live in, whether it be high heels, short skirts, tight jeans or a wifebeater. JMO

Ya but what would happen to all of us if anal sex was added to the obscenity list? If you ask me we need to fight this now, before showing your ankles is considered “edgy” :hmm:

well anal sex WAS illegal a few years ago

We have moved passed that, but must maintain our position to avoid being subserviant to straight society again in the future.

Actually not. There are still a number of states where anal sex is illegal in the privacy of one's own home, with a consenting partner. The Supremes ruled on the issue in Georgia, but there are other states with statutes that haven't been tested.

I've come to really respect and understand the viewpoint that Chad is putting forth. While a fair number of the people here might find certain depictions to be distasteful, even disgusting, we have to recognize that freedom of expression is a very precious right that has stayed pretty much unabridged over the last 225 years. The right wing losers and that bozo we have in the White House would love nothing more than to reverse that 225 year trend and control speech and expression... even more than they already have... and that's a scary thought.

It's easy to start by restricting something a lot of people can agree is offensive... but it's a very slippery slope.

I think by now most everyone who's read my postings knows that I generally dislike content that's potentially harmful to the models that are involved in producing it, I don't particularly like content that could be considered degrading or humiliating to the models that are involved in it, and I'm also uncomfortable with content that sends an unhealthy message (whatever that is.)

But my dislike or discomfort is far less important than the protection of the liberties that Americans enjoy -- at least until the loser Republicans take them away -- and so I will defend the right of any content producer to produce content that's offensive to me, simply because we cannot allow our precious freedom of expression to be limited or eroded by a bunch of right-wing losers (or anyone else, for that matter.)

I thought the supreme court struck down all consentual sodomy laws :toff:

Ya but some state law still have not been changed is what he is saying, if the states try to prosecute someone for it I am sure it will get struck down eventually but I sure hope I am not the one that has to wait for the supreme court too get around to do it. :goatse:

Tell me what states it's not legal in. I'll be happy to have Max film there and proudly declare the name of the state on the boxcover of the video as "Gay sodomy proudly filmed in ______ ) Cum on Max.... you have lots of free time and are local to the U.S. :corncob:

Sodomy laws may still be on the books of some states but those laws are essentially unenforceable. I believe the great and progressive state of Alabama finally was able to remove its Jim Crow laws in the year 2000, a not insignificant time after the US Supreme Court rulings of the 1960's that struck them down.

Virginia is still kicking and screaming with its sodomy law but so far they have not been successful. I can proudly say that my state of Arizona legislatively removed its sodomy law on its own a few years before the Lawrence case, but unfortunately there are still red neck trashy states that cannot let go of wanting to punish people for having sex.
