College of William & Mary Sex show tests obscenity



If Del. Brenda Pogge (R-96th) has her way, local police will observe the Sex Workers’ Art Show at the College of William & Mary with an eye for lewd conduct.

Pogge sent a letter to President Gene Nichol on Friday asking him to rescind his approval and stop Monday’s show. If he doesn’t, she has asked that city police be present to determine if the show violates a state obscenity statute. She maintains that one of the tests used by the U.S. Supreme Court to define obscenity is to determine if it violates community standards . . .

    The mainstream media always try to portray these events that are based in sexuality as harmless family fun be it gay, straight or whatever. The so called, ‘gay pride’ events always have displays of public sexuality that would have landed any of the participants in jail just 15 or 20 years ago. Sex workers art show? Are you kidding me? What in the name of all that is good, was the college thinking when they agreed to have such a sick event on their campus? I hope that who ever got this one going gets some sort of disciplinary penalty for it.
