Porn site bans all North Carolina users over anti-LGBT law

Since Monday, porn site XHamster.com has refused access to any user with a North Carolina IP address. The site says the block will stay in place until the state repeals House Bill 2, which prevents cities and counties passing rules that protect LGBT rights. "We have spent the last 50 years fighting for equality for everyone and these laws are discriminatory which XHamster.com does not tolerate," said the company's spokesman in official statement sent to The Huffington Post.

"Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them." According to the streaming site, NC residents searched for the term "transsexual" around 400,000 times, while "gay" was typed in around 320,000 times. (Let's not mention all the other kinds of keywords they could be searching for.) Users from the state will see a black screen when they load the site, although the owners plan to replace it with a petition demanding a repeal of the law.

Cracking bit of publicity for their website and a lovely dig at the perverts in NC.

This law prevents men from using female changing rooms in gyms. A website founded for voyeurs objects to that law. No massive surprise and reassurance for NC's law-makers.

Long story short, PayPal are getting vocal about this supposedly horrific homophobic draconian law, while they do business in several countries where being gay is actually illegal, and in 5 where the penalty is death.

How the fucking hell has the western world come to the stage of thinking that if a man dresses up as a woman and uses a womens toilet, that anyone who takes issue with this is seen as the one in the wrong, or somehow "homophobic" or "hateful".

Meanwhile....

Mississippi has passed a law stating that you don't have to serve homosexuals if its against your religious beliefs so Bryan Adams has cancelled his concert there......phew!!

I don't have a problem with Gays or LGBT but I thought we lived in a world where you could have free speech or doesn't that apply to the Gay community?

It's almost, almost as if free speech comes with boundaries

Whatever happened to "The management reserves the right to refuse admission."

Is it allowed to have that on tickets and flyers these days? Can drunken piss artists complain if they are knocked back at a door, these days, on the grounds that the establishment are discriminating against one's preferred social lifestyle?

Denying other peoples basic rights isn't free speech, but you know that already your just pretending to be a thicko right winger aren't you?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the sick and disabled, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not sick or disabled.

Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
