Porn site xHamster blocks North Carolina users to protest anti-LGBT law

I mean the porn. It seems like a non sequitur to withhold something ideologically compatible and inessential, plus the notion of pornographers fighting for equality is a joke.

Do you mean the law or the porn?

Why is the notion of pornographers fighting for equality a joke? XHamster seems to have a pretty progressive corporate view towards sexuality. Obviously not all the content on the site is that way, but you seem to be implying pornography is inherently bad?

Besides, you're naive if you think the Republican lawmakers who push this type of legislation are actually so wholesome that this is totally irrelevant.

Would be more fun if xhamster required a certificate of sexual orientation before allowing you to switch to straight or gay porn.

The lack of self-awareness is pretty funny.

Setting aside moral judgements, consider: a state passes a law based on traditional religious morality, and a company that violates traditional religious morality then refuses to do business in it as "punishment".

At some level, I guess it's good. The Big Sort continues apace.
