The Texas sodomy laws were challenged and appealed all the way to the USSC [Lawrence vs Texas] by homosexuals, strip clubs are nothing but a front for whorehouses (prostitution) and pornography is nothing but entertainment for morally insane perverts. Since you think its so "mainstream" I guess you'd approve wholeheartedly if your sister or daughter or niece was exploited by pornographers? Or perhaps you just approve of them exploiting other folk's daughters, sisters and nieces for your own self gratification... disgusting..
I don’t “approve” of any of these things, Harry. I just don’t think that criminalisation is an option right now - that’s all.
Take the whole issue of pornography. In the space of less than a generation it’s moved from the fringes of society to the mainstream, and it’s now everywhere. It’s because attitudes have changed. Most people still disapprove of pornography (or say they do) but are more prepared to tolerate it, as long as there are laws to protect minors. That is why many obscenity prosecutions fail, even for material that is extreme and frankly disgusting.
That’s where we are right now, whether we like it or not. All this may change again in the future, the way it’s changed so many times in the past. Social history is cyclic.
