Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art.

They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

Pay attention to the newly accelerated war on porn.
If you are not already, pay attention to increasing attacks on porn even if porn is something you do not care for. The attacks, architected and carried out by zealots, are intended to broaden the classification of "porn" to include all sorts of speech determined "subversive" by zealots. This is what has drawn me to this community and fight. I'm not a porn super fan. "Obscenity" is long where this battle has been fought and sex workers are on the front lines of that fight. *Their* free speech battle is one you benefit from, fellow artists. Don't get me wrong! I don't mean to distance myself from love and appreciation for smut, subversive art, literature, trash and more. I am a true fan of all of the above (in no small part because I also know and appreciate its role in the history of this struggle). But one should not feel they have to be a fan to appreciate what this fight means for the freedom of speech (especially speech including queer and feminist perspectives, which have often been grouped together as "subversive" and "dangerous" texts in the name of state censorship).
