Sexual liberation has not stopped with adults as the porn industry, with their demand for the promotion of obscenity, target the underage audience and see them as children who simply need to be sexually liberated from the oppression of decency laws and religious morality.

From that letter, NOTE: Rev. Magora E. Kennedy STONEWALL Veterans' Association S.V.A. Chaplain

The Amsterdam News, a weekly New York newspaper, is leading the way with articles like "Black New Yorkers: 'Gayest great-grandmother in the country,'" (August 14, 2003) which profiles the life of Rev. Magora Kennedy, a former Black panther, a mother of 5 and grandmother of 15, and an out lesbian whose activism dates back to Stonewall. Special attention is also paid to youth issues in "Kids with gay parents talk about their families" (May 12-May 18, 2005).

"The heroes are the folks that we probably won't see in Time or Newsweek", said Donna Red Wing of the Human Rights Campaign.... Maybe folks like Williamson Henderson, who was inside The Stonewall and arrested after the first night of the rebellion (sic).... He'll never forget the night he helped give birth to the Gay Rights movement. Stonewall helped unite Gays and lesbians, eventually growing into a powerful force, felt in all reaches of the national spectrum. "Stonewall was the first time I saw in a public way my GLBT community fighting back", said Donna. And, from the S.V.A.'s Jeremiah Newton: "Yes, we were part of the Stonewall Rebellion. Yes, we survived. Yes, we're still here.... It starts with one person standing up for their rights and the rights of their loved ones. That's Stonewall! It's an amazing, amazing story...." reflected Jeremiah. Do they consider themselves 'heroes'? "Well, I never regarded myself as one", Williamson said. "None of us regarded ouselves as 'heroes'. We were all victims of happenstance", he said. "But, after all these years, I think, yes, in fact, we are 'heroes'".

Obituary of Harry Hay's

Henry “Harry” Hay, the founder of the modern American gay movement, died on October 24, 2002 at age 90.

(snip)

Hay devoted his entire life to progressive politics, and in 1950 founded a state-registered foundation network of support groups for gays known as the Mattachine Society.

(snip)

Hay was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness as a form of spiritual calling. A rare link between gay and progressive politics

(snip)

“Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism,” said David M. Smith of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, DC. “When you were in a room with him, you had the sense you were in the company of a historic figure.”

(snip)

“Mattachine” took its name from a group of medieval dancers who appeared publicly only in mask, a device well understood by homosexuals of the 1950s. Hay devised its secret cell structure (based on the Masonic order) to protect individual gays and the nascent gay network. Officially co-gender, the group was largely male -- the Daughters of Bilitis, the pioneering lesbian organization, formed independently in San Francisco in 1956.

(snip)

Though some criticized the Mattachine movement as insular, it grew to include thousands of members in dozens of chapters, which formed from Berkeley to Buffalo, and created a lasting national framework for gay organizing. Mattachine set the stage for rapid civil rights gains following 1969’s Stonewall riots in New York City.

NAMBLA emerged from the tumultuous political atmosphere of the 1970s, particularly from the leftist wing of the Gay Liberation movement which followed the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City. Although discussion of gay adult-minor sex did take place, gay rights groups immediately following the Stonewall Riot were more concerned with issues of police harassment, nondiscrimination in employment, health care and other areas.

“Obscenity invades our homes persistently through the mail, telephone, VCR, cable TV and now the Internet."

Absolute BS. Nothing 'invades' my home that I don't let in. I can protect myself from obscenity just fine, thank you very much.

I think the flourishing of pornography in the 90’s had more to do with the growth of the internet. I was rading a story somewhere recently however that said the porn business has taken a hit lately because porn is readily available now for free and doesn’t have to be paid for (sorry I can’t remember where I read that).

[JerriBlank]

Jenna Jameson is still making porn?

She was supposed to be hot like 10 years ago, although I never quite understood her appeal.

Don’t porn stars have an expiration date???

[no dems]

The title of this thread put a visual in my mind that I’d just as soon not be there.

Hillary and Porn

There are some things that don't belong together and those two words make the list.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Jenna Jameson is a multi-millionaire feminist businesswoman...

I must admit...that's the first time I've seen or heard Jenna Jameson described in such a manner.

Needless to say, it is not the way I would describe her.

[bannie]

Didn’t her Christmas tree decorations let us know just how The Shreeker felt about this type of thing?

:-(

[advertising guy]

Jenna is featured constantly on TV Guide as a great talent.

NBC cannot push queers on us fast enuf.....

Queer Eye...Will & Grace.......Jenna

[murdoog]

f Attorney General Gonzales’ lenient policies have been harsh on the adult industry

You mean the same Gonzales who subpoenaed google's search records to see who was looking for porn?

[HIDEK6]

and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now.

Uh, babe, that's a self-correcting problem.

[antiRepublicrat]

This multimillion dollar industry has strewn its victims from coast to coast

World of Warcraft?

[mysterio]

That’s the way it was while her husband was president

BS. Willie tried to censor the entire net in '96.

[Lorianne]

Porn should be legal as long as no children are involved and no one is coerced and/or hurt.

Free speech is an absolute.

The real threat to 1A are ultra liberals. They would ban anti-porn speech, protests and boycotts of porn and porn makers if they could get away with it.

[gcruse]

You can have my porn when you pry it out of my cold, dead, clenched, behaired palms. Now shut up, bitch, and pass the Cheezits.

[Eagle Eye]

Should porn be a federal or state issue?

I vote state issue.

Hillary and porn should NEVER be mentioned in the same breath.
