Sex workers can’t get no respect (and are tired of it)
This photo is from a demonstration held yesterday on the steps of the courthouse in Las Vegas.
The group, composed of prostitutes, strippers and men and women of the night, called for more respect and stronger legal protections for legal and illegal workers in the sex industry. They complained that a series of new anti-human trafficking laws restrict their freedom and called for the decriminalization of the world’s oldest profession.
I have to agree with them. I think that spending the money we’re wasting locking up prostitutes and their johns could be spent in much better ways. We need to take a hard look at the things we’re trying so hard to control and realize that we need to get our noses out of what people want to do with each other.
