Canadian gay porn star Milo Miles has recently gone public regarding his ordeal at the American border at the start of this year, resulting in a 10-year ban from entering the country. He was headed to the annual GayVN Awards (a gay porn industry awards event) with six nominations under his belt. As part of […]
U.K. to Ban Stepfamily and Incest Fantasies in Porn
Direct from an official press release from the country’s government website: “Building on the Government’s work to tackle violence against women and girls, pornography depicting illegal sexual conduct between family members and adults roleplaying as children will be criminalised.” This legislation is one of several recently proposed pornography bans by the government, including the criminalisation of material depicting choking that we’ve been following here at Hard […]
Fresno May Ban Those With Sex Offenses from City Council Meetings
The city of Fresno, California, has been sent into an uproar after a man on the sex offense registry announced his candidacy for the City Council, in the wake of the Council’s legally dubious attempt to impose onerous residency restrictions that would make it difficult for those convicted of sex offences to live almost anywhere […]
Nancy Mace’s War
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), the twice-divorced Republican sex symbol known for her numerous bikini pics, is now running for governor of her state. She wants to make it clear she has no tolerance for men she regards as creeps. On the positive side, she has called for outing her male colleagues for whom congressional funds […]
Ogling Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has called on a House committee to investigate the NFL and NBC for allowing Bad Bunny’s halftime show. In Ogles’ words, “Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.

From Stonewall to Disney: Diminishing Queer Visibility
The trans community isn’t the only cohort of the wider LGBTQ+ community seeing civil rights being pulled away. The ACLU maintains a map tracking attacks on LGBTQ right in US state legislatures.

Bi-partisan Consensus: Sex Offenders Better Off Dead
A bill to impose the death penalty in child sex abuse cases passed the Alabama State Senate by a resounding bi-partisan vote of 33-1, and Gov. Kay Ivey has indicated she will sign it. Like a law passed in Florida in 2023, this directly seeks to overturn the Supreme Court’s 2008 prohibition of the death […]
What Will They Think of Next?
Our beloved state legislators in the US continue to distinguish themselves by silliness when it comes to sex and gender. An Arizona legislator has proposed a bill to make it a felony to bring a minor to an event where people may be dressed in drag. A state senator in Illinois has introduced a bill […]
Stay Away from the Water (and Camera) in Florida!
In a state where water is literally everywhere, Florida legislators have introduced bills to prohibit anyone with a sexual offense in their history from ever “being” within 200 feet of any body of water, presumably to prevent them from seeing a child or woman in a bathing suit. They would not be allowed to live […]
