California Voters: Prop 60 Won’t Protect Adult Performers. VOTE NO.
In the state of California, there’s a ballot initiative slated for the general election in November called Proposition 60.

A Day Without Porn: or, a very long article by Lynsey G.
That’s why I wrote this ridiculously long article. I want people to know what’s at stake here. It’s not just a laugh-inducing headline about goggle fetishes. It’s about safety, autonomy, and government overreach. It’s important.

HIV HULLABALOO — The Latest on the Lunacy
