I disagree, the hobby should never be legalized here in The States.
Have a great day!

We will likely have a national government dominated or controlled entirely by liberal Democrarts in the Executive Legislative and judicial branches going forward. That is the way it seems this morning.
What do I expect? What is the Lemonade-from-lemons I look for as a conversive hobbyist?
IOut-right legalization of the Hobby along the lines of Europe or
Canada would be nice. Decriminalization would be an acceptable Plan-B.
Start calling your Representatives and Senators now!

Funny thread, though. Very interesting. I fell out of favor with CNN, but this was the latest domestic article I could find. So I will add the ACLU piece as well.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, here's how you can rebuild the economy: Decriminalize sex work
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/06/opini...ife/index.html
Dee, who has been in the US for 10 years, lost her meager income as an off-the books cleaner at the start of the pandemic. As her rent payment loomed, she decided to try sex work on the advice of her trans friends, who noted — accurately — that options are limited for someone who is openly trans and undocumented.
Dee ended up seeing some customers in her home and did manage to pay her rent. But when a neighbor called the police, Dee was arrested and charged with prostitution — a potentially deportable offense.
Dee's story is not unique or specific to her community. It is the American story of financial insecurity during the pandemic. And if the incoming Biden-Harris administration wants "an economy more vibrant and more powerful precisely because everybody will be cut in," it must "build back better" with people like Dee in mind. It must address the decriminalization of sex work.
To Protect Black Trans Lives, Decriminalize Sex Work
https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbt-right...lize-sex-work/
Anti-sex work laws like SESTA/FOSTA make sex workers, especially trans women of color, even more vulnerable to violence. The law banned online platforms and screening tools that sex workers use to screen clients and share information to stay safe, making it harder for sex workers to protect themselves.
Banning online sex work platforms pushes sex workers out onto the street, which is more dangerous. Client interactions are quick because we don’t want to be caught. I know some girls who feel the need to get a gun license to protect themselves. Others will carry knives or mace. You never know when you will need it. It’s two strangers meeting each other — there’s always a chance that something bad might happen.
Italians and opera. Am I right?
Outer rage, or inner turmoil.
