They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive
It’s all in in black and white in Project 2025.
Ban porn > Categorize LGBT as Porn > LGBT is crime > LGBT in prison
Religious zealots and bigots were given the reigns. This is what we get.
Regarding payment processing specifically, they are under direct pressure from religious lobbyists and are folding like a cheap suit.
You’re right except the zealots and bigots are the ones being propagandized to support the legislation. The reason for it has always been for expanded prison labor. That’s where America’s slavery thrives. Don’t play into the culture war while corporations and the owning class take everything from us.
Do they specifically mention how banning porn is a step towards attacking queer people?
just do a web search with “project 2025 porn” and marval at it… it is amazing
here is a good write up example https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/project-2025-war-porn-privacy-and-progress
If you read Project 2025 you would find that literally on Page 1 they equate pornography with “the spread of transgenderism and drag queens” and claim that all of the above are “invading their school libraries” so all further references to combating “pornography” in the text also means transgender people.
Red states have already passed legislation classify any book that has any form ofnLGBT representation as obscene and not fit for school libraries. It’s the same process on a bigger scale.
