xHamster blocking NC residents due to LGBT bathroom bill.
I'm not really in favor of this punishment. It's like executing everyone in a room because one of them is a murderer. Think of all the lonely folks who aren't in favor of this bill, didn't vote for these people, and now can't bust a nut while watching some MILF porn.

So I had never heard of xHamster before yesterday, when I heard about this.
So I went there. They are not blocking people, but I had to click through this first:

That's much better than an outright block.

"She-males" beat out "gay" for category views?

I'm picturing Catt using those search terms and furiously hitting F5 hoping for new content, driving up the count.

I've known a couple of women into shemales. But as a general statement I would agree.

Bruce Springstein canceled a show there or something as well. Wanting to see if we can get a similar law and ban here in KY.
Oh, and I think xhamster did this for publicity. Because no one had ever heard of them until this.

Definitely had heard of xhampster before. Pretended not to when it was brought up at the office, though.

Now Ringo Star is boycotting. NC is getting rid of some pretty craptacular music with this move. I guess not all unintended consequences are bad.

QUOTE if it is immoral, even criminal or civilly liable for these mom-and-pop Christian businesses to deny services based on their fundamental beliefs, why is it not also immoral or legally actionable for large corporations to refuse their services to the citizens of those states where those who govern choose to pass legislation to protect the religious freedoms of their citizenry?
Nice try but no cigar.
1. The Christian bizzes are attempting to say their choice and beliefs overrule basic constitutional protections given to people with intrinsic characteristics which happen to contradict those beliefs. Â They're putting private faith ahead of biz in a commercial setting. Â Freedom of religion is NOT absolute in this country and can be overruled by more fundamental rights. Â Otherwise, one could invent a new faith to justify any prejudice one wanted and use it to deny any service for any reason so long as their high and mighty friend in the sky says it's cool.
2. Â The corporations who think #1 is true can make the case that their continuing to operate in those areas is detrimental to their PR. Â They are not denying any constitutional rights to anyone, they're protecting their rep.
In fuzzier yet simpler terms, the people in #1 are doing something because their deity says so. Â They wash their hands of the conflict and don't employ critical thinking outside the bounds of their religious belief system.
The people in #2 at least admit their actions stem from their own brain and bias rather than passing the buck to a non-human higher power. Â I'll give political, economic, or artistic expression miles of leeway for that reason.
