Sex Workers Cheer Political Earthquake in Queens

(Chuck Muth) – When was the last time a local race for district attorney made national news?

Answer: This morning.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting at the time of this column, Tiffany Cabán is leading in the Democrat primary for Queens district attorney in New York by 1,090 votes, with some 3,400 absentee ballots still to be counted.

But with a six-candidate field, it’s unlikely the runner up, Melinda Katz – Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s and the political establishment’s pick – will be able overtake the 31-year-old insurgent, who declared victory Tuesday night.

And while this race probably wasn’t on the radar screen for 99 percent of the American electorate, it was a closely watched race by commercial sex workers.  Why?

Because Cabán, a public defender, ran on a platform of comprehensive criminal justice reform.  And she said that if elected she would issue a memo “on day one” instructing her attorneys to stop prosecuting sex workers and/or their clients.

Cabán added, however, that her office would continue to maintain a hard line against non-consensual sex trafficking and sexual assaults.

In other words, she hasn’t bought into the puritan propaganda of prostitution abolitionists who falsely equate voluntary “sex work” with involuntary “sex trafficking.”

“Through decriminalization,” Cabán said in a recent interview, “you make it safe for survivors and victims to go to law enforcement and be the witnesses needed to hold these traffickers, who are doing harm, accountable.”

If Cabán goes on to win the general election in November, BuzzFeed notes “it would mark one of the biggest successes for the sex work decriminalization movement that, after years of struggling to gain mainstream traction, has growing popularity and political influence across the country.”

Still, declining to prosecute cases isn’t the same as changing the law – though the New York Legislature is currently mulling just such a bill.

“When we talk about decriminalization, we’re talking about consenting adults,” said Julia Salazar, who introduced the bill in the Senate. “Anything that involved children or coercion are things that we feel very strongly need to remain in the penal code.”

The bill was expected to face an uphill battle, but it’ll be interesting to see if Cabán’s stunning victory shifts the political landscape to any significant degree.

Currently, prostitution in the United States is only legal in a handful of licensed and regulated brothels in rural Nevada, but not Las Vegas and Reno.

Nevada’s “New” Brothel Industry Rises from the Sagebrush

(Jeremy Lemur) – Will 2020 be the year of the sex worker? As a movement to decriminalize prostitution gains unprecedented traction in New York and Washington D.C., and Democratic hopefuls such as Kamala Harris and Tulsi Gabbard speak openly about their support of sex workers, the 2020 presidential election may be the first to include the decriminalization of prostitution as a talking point.

Just this month, Democratic lawmakers in New York State introduced a highly publicized bill that seeks to make it legal to engage in the consensual sale of sex. If more states follow New York’s lead, sex worker rights will certainly become a key issue during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.

With Nevada’s unique status as the only state in the union that has successfully legalized prostitution in the form of regulated brothels, Nevadans can expect the eyes of the nation to be on them as pundits look to a bona fide, time-tested example of legalized prostitution in America.

This past year, Nevada’s sex industry faced its own political challenges.

In 2018, anti-sex work activists sought a referendum to ban brothels in Lyon and Nye counties and, in early 2019, a bill aiming to shut down the state’s licensed bordellos was introduced in the Nevada Senate. Furthermore, the brothel industry’s most famous spokesperson, controversial Moonlite Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof, died suddenly in October, creating a perceived void in pro-brothel leadership.

In a cosmically appropriate way, Hof’s death occurred at the perfect time. He went out on top, brilliantly executing the last in a long line of publicity coups: running for Assembly and not only beating established politicians in the Republican primary, but also winning the seat posthumously.

Perhaps more significantly, Hof died during a sea change in the country and in Nevada. The women-empowering #MeToo movement was running full tilt and Nevada’s Legislature was about to make history as the first with a majority of female lawmakers. It was time for fresh voices to surface, and they did.

In the wake of Hof’s demise, a “new” Nevada brothel industry was revealed – the real brothel industry. An industry made up of the hundreds of women that practice their trade as sex workers and female sex industry leaders throughout the state.

Shortly after Hof’s death, the female proprietor of Bella’s Hacienda Ranch in Wells, Nevada formed an advocacy organization, the Onesta Foundation, with a mission to provide sex industry awareness and education.

A refurbished Nevada Brothel Association was also established. Founded by three women, two legal sex workers and the current owner of the Bunny Ranch, the association pushed hard against the anti-brothel campaigns, holding town hall meetings, championing the merits of legal prostitution through blog posts and social media, and generally making it clear that Nevada’s sex workers will not be silent when their livelihood is questioned.

Madams and sex workers from brothels like the Mustang Ranch and Sheri’s Ranch rose to the occasion and defended their position at legislative hearings and via news outlets.

These women prevailed triumphantly. The brothel ban referendum in Lyon County was rejected by 80 percent of voters and a similar effort to ban brothels in Nye County failed to get enough signatures on a referendum petition. The ill-fated bill to criminalize brothels statewide also foundered in the Legislature.

As 2020 approaches, and sex workers across the United States bravely fight against tremendous stigma for the right to lawfully practice their trade, Nevada’s ever-evolving legal prostitution experiment nears its 50th year. Thanks to the women who are (and always have been) its lifeblood, the Silver State’s sex industry appears as contemporary and forward-thinking as ever.

The women of Nevada’s brothels just might influence legislators in other states to seriously consider changing laws pertaining to the consensual sale of sex because lawmakers can no longer ignore the power of sex worker voices in Nevada and throughout the nation.

Mr. Lemur is a communications professional and legal prostitution advocate living in Henderson, Nevada. In the past decade he served on staff at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, Sheri’s Ranch, and other brothels in Lyon and Nye counties.

Exodus Cry’s Sex Purity “Inquisition” Scam Exposed

The Inquisition, what a show!
The Inquisition, here we go!
We know you’re wishin’ that we go away
You better change your point of views today
’cause the Inquisition’s here and it’s here to stay!

 – Mel Brooks, “History of the World: Part 1”

(Chuck Muth) – Nevada’s decades-old legal brothels have been under a withering assault by the Morality Police for the better part of the last two years, led by a creepy Reno lawyer named Jason Guinasso.

Aiding and abetting this home-grown gaggle of crusaders has been a national group calling itself “Exodus Cry.”

Exodus Cry, like Guinasso, intentionally misleads the public with their incendiary propaganda by conflating voluntary prostitution – including in Nevada’s legal brothels – with “slavery” and “human trafficking.”

It’s despicably dishonest – and the group’s arguments should be dismissed out of hand on that basis alone.

But a new development reveals why this new-fangled group of sex puritans – and as you’ll see, I mean that literally, not figuratively – shouldn’t be given the time of day by anyone wanting to have a serious discussion of this issue.

However, before I get to the explosive Exodus Cry “Chapter Application” that was uncovered and publicized this past weekend, let’s set to rest once and for all the true motivation of these people, as explained by Laila Mickelwait, the group’s “Director of Abolition,” in a tweet on June 14…

“It’s not the legal status of prostitution that causes the harm, it’s the prostitution itself. The longer a woman is in prostitution – legal or illegal – the more she is psychologically damaged and physically harmed. The only way to make her safe is to get her out of prostitution.”

As you can plainly see, Mickelwait’s focus isn’t on “slavery” or “human trafficking.”  She’s a commercial sex-work abolitionist.  A religious puritan bent on forcibly “saving” consenting, adult women who don’t buy into her pop psychology and don’t want to be “saved.”

But let’s say you share Laila’s “savior complex” and want to join her modern-day Inquisition crusade.  Well, first you have to fill out an application.

Or, you DID – until the “Chapter Application” itself was “outed” last weekend by Dr. Gemma Ahearne (@princessjack).  And boy, is it ever a revelatory doozy!

“Thank you for your interest in working with Exodus Cry to see the ending of human slavery,” the organization declares in its opening statement on the application.  “As you start a chapter in your city, you are committing to host a weekly prayer meeting focused on the ending of slavery and to work to bring awareness in your community on the issue of human trafficking.”

Got it?  “Slavery” and “human trafficking.”  Who can argue with that, right

Ah, but later on we get to the group’s “Mission Statement” which adds “the outlawing of Prostitution worldwide” – which is decidedly NOT the same as “slavery” and “human trafficking.”

Funny how that wasn’t included in their opening statement, huh?

Onward…

Applicants wishing to start an Exodus Cry chapter in their city have eight “requirements” they must fulfill to join the Inquisition – including a commitment to the Exodus Cry “Purity Covenant” and “Statement of Faith.”

Hmm.  Sounds a little more like a religious crusade than an effort to end slavery, but maybe that’s just me.  Let’s see…

“Jesus taught that when we go out into this world, our primary focus should be to reconcile others to God,” reads the “Values” statement applicants must agree to.  “Our social justice methodology is fueled with a desire to see the salvation of both the oppressed and the oppressor.”

Nope, I was right.  This is Evangelism 101.

But if you’re still not convinced, let’s move to Exodus Cry’s chapter application “Questionnaire”…

Question #1: “What are your past church/spiritual affiliations?”

Odd.  Does this mean only actively practicing religious people can fight slavery and human trafficking?

Question #2: “Were you the victim of any kind of child abuse?”

Well, Mom made me eat broccoli.  Does that count?

OK, sorry.  That was flippant.

Real child abuse is a serious matter – and anyone who hurts an innocent, defenseless child should be drawn and quartered.

But this still seems like an awfully personal question for an employment-like application to fight slavery, doesn’t it?

Question #3: “Are you currently in a relationship, outside of marriage, which involves ongoing sexual activity.”

Seriously?  You can’t join the crusade against slavery, human trafficking and even prostitution if you’re having pre-marital sex?

Question #4: “Do you have any non-sexual compulsive behaviors?”

Uh-oh.  I guess my friend and UNLV sex researcher Christina Parreira’s compulsion for Christian Louboutin shoes is a disqualifier, even though the word “Christian” is in the name!

Question #5: “Have you completed an inner healing program/ministry of any kind?”

Um, no.  Guess I’m out, too.  Christina, let’s go shopping!

Question #6: “Are you currently or have you ever been in professional counseling?”

So I guess if you’ve ever been to a marriage counselor to save your marriage – and the permissible married sexual activity that comes with it! – you can’t be a soldier in the Exodus Cry crusade against slavery and human trafficking.

Question #7: “Do you use alcohol, illegal drugs or other mood-altering substances?”

Well, there goes Homer Simpson and the gang at Moe’s Tavern!

Also, all the Catholics who drink wine with communion at mass on Sunday.

Question #8: “Are you currently taking any prescribed medication?”

So much for diabetics and folks suffering from high blood pressure.

Seriously, what the Hades do these questions have to do with fighting slavery and human trafficking?

But if you want to know what REALLY pushes these folks’ buttons, check out the next two questions…

Question #9: “Are you or have you struggled with homosexual thoughts, feelings or behaviors?”

And…

Question #10: “Do you believe that homosexual physical contact or inordinate emotional closeness with the same sex is sinful?”

OK, this isn’t as bad as the Westboro Baptist Church’s “God Hates Fags” campaign, but the sentiment sure sounds similar.

In any event, why can’t gays join Exodus Cry’s crusade against slavery and human trafficking?

And, um, by the way…what’s the definition of “inordinate emotional closeness”?  Does it include the guys in the “I Love You, Man” Bud Lite commercials?

Oh, wait.  They’re already disqualified for drinking beer.  Bad example.  Onward…

Question #11: “Do you believe heterosexual sex outside of marriage is sinful?”

OK, this one is kinda redundant redundant.  See #3 above.

Question #12: “Are you currently struggling with pornography?”

Question #13: “Have you struggled with pornography in the past?”

Um, does that include the Victoria’s Secret catalogue?  What about the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition?  Inquiring minds wanna know.

OK, kidding aside, these people aren’t out to eliminate “slavery” and “human trafficking.”  Their true agenda is revealed in the group’s “Purity Covenant” that applicants must sign…

“The Purity Covenant is a personal commitment to wholehearted sexual purity.  One of the great battles facing our generation is the battle for sexual purity.”

What exactly does that mean, you might ask?

Well, clearly these folks are committed to eliminating sex entirely unless it’s between one married man and one married woman – as long as they’re married to each other, of course.

And, I’m guessing, you can only do it “missionary style” for the sole purpose of making a baby – and the woman may NOT enjoy it.

Anything else is considered by this group to be “licentious sexual activity” which puts you “into agreement with Satan” and “releases demonic energy into the realm of the spirit.”

Lord, I hope South Park does an episode on this!

Then there’s the group’s “Statement of Faith,” which is immersed in extreme religious dogma only a tiny minority of people ascribe to.

I’m not even going to get into that.  If you want to read the entire thing yourself, click here to see the series of screen shots Dr. Ahearne took before Exodus Cry removed the application from their website.

Personally, I find the entire document to be absurd.  However…

I’m a live-and-let-live kinda guy.  If this is what some folks choose to believe, fine.  As Thomas Jefferson so eloquently put it…

“It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

But when it comes to using the power of government to enforce their brand of morality on those who don’t share their beliefs, that’s where we need to draw the line.

The fact that Exodus Cry has gone to such great lengths to mislead the public – hiding behind “slavery” and “human trafficking” to promote their “sex purity” crusade – demands they be called out.

Which I just did.

Now…it’s Miller Time.

Slixa: Sex Work Decriminalization: What. A. Week.

(Kate D’Adamo | Slixa.com) – The last week has been a testament to the movement towards global decriminalization of sex work. It may have gone by fast, but it’s been truly incredible few days.

In The United States:

Today, the NYC-based coalition DecrimNY will introduce the most comprehensive decriminalization bill in the country’s history into a state legislature. The bill would strike laws which criminalize selling, buying and promoting, among others, from the New York penal code. While the coalition doesn’t anticipate a vote this session, the introduction alone is a milestone moment.

Last Monday, DecrimNow, a coalition of sex workers, allies and advocates based in DC, re-introduced a bill to repeal a number of statutes which criminalize the sex trade in the district. The bill already has four co-sponsors, and the coalition has a growing list of allies and supporters. One thing that makes this bill unique is that because the District of Columbia is not a state, once the bill passes the city council, it will have to go through Congress – which means this is a fight which will not only take local advocates, but sex workers and co-conspirators from every state to fully realize.

Bill would decriminalize sex work in DC

Should prostitution be decriminalized? DC Councilmember David Grosso thinks so and has introduced a bill that would decriminalize sex work in the District. Grosso says sex workers would be better…

In Nevada, a bill which would have banned brothels in the state officially failed.

This Tuesday, California is holding a hearing on a bill which would offer immunity from prostitution charges for those who have been victimized or witness to victimization in the course of trading sex. If you’re in CA – find your rep, call, and ask for their support!

Chapman: Are Americans Ready to Decriminalize Prostitution?

(Steve Chapman) – America was once a land of prohibitions. Half a century ago, in most of the country, gambling was illegal. Marijuana use was illegal. Abortion was illegal. Pornography was illegal. Homosexual relations were against the law — and same-sex marriage was beyond imagination. Even heterosexual sodomy was forbidden in many states.

Now, these activities are all allowed everywhere or in much of the country. The change happened so slowly that it’s hard to remember how far we’ve come.

A couple of common beliefs have driven this broad shift. One is that if adults want to indulge in behavior that many regard as immoral or unhealthy but inflicts no direct harm on others, it’s strictly their business.

Thomas Jefferson said: “(I)t does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” The same holds for playing roulette, smoking dope, watching porn, or engaging in private, consensual sodomy.

The trend toward freedom has been especially pronounced in the realm of sex. Since 1965, the Supreme Court has established a constitutional right of privacy that has invalidated laws forbidding contraception, abortion, pornography and oral and anal sex. Public attitudes have changed as well. Americans overwhelmingly regard sex as a matter for private choices, not government mandate.

There is one big exception: prostitution. Most commodities and services that may be legally given away may also be bought and sold. But not sex. Men can use all sorts of persuasive means to get women (or men) to go to bed with them. Women (and men) can consent to do so for a vast range of motives.

When money changes hands for that explicit purpose, though, the law suddenly intrudes. Prostitution is illegal everywhere except some parts of Nevada.

But when presidential candidates criticizing laws against prostitution, you know something has changed. Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is generally regarded as a moderate in the Democratic field, recently said he thought legalizing prostitution deserves “serious consideration.” Sen. Kamala Harris said she favored “decriminalization” – though she seems to mean prosecuting customers and pimps, while sparing prostitutes.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii went further: “If a consenting adult wants to engage in sex work, that is their right, and it should not be a crime. All people should have autonomy over their bodies and their labor.”

They are not the only politicians open to change. New York state Sens. Jessica Ramos of Queens and Julia Salazar of Brooklyn plan to introduce legislation to remove penalties for buying and selling sex. Five members of the 13-member District of Columbia city council have signed on to a bill to decriminalize the trade.

In both cases, the idea has won support from organizations representing sex workers, who think their trade would be safer and easier if clients and providers didn’t fear being arrested.

One reason the concept has gained currency that America has gotten well-acquainted with an adult-film actress named Stormy Daniels, who went public about the $130,000 Donald Trump’s lawyer paid her in 2016 to keep quiet about a sexual encounter. Her interview on “60 Minutes,” which drew the show’s biggest audience in 10 years, revealed her to be poised, sharp-witted, credible and utterly unashamed of her profession. Contrary to the usual claim about sex workers, she also made it plain she is nobody’s victim.

Then there is New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who was charged in February with soliciting prostitution at a Florida massage parlor. The Martin County sheriff claimed the investigation was aimed at smashing a $20 million sex trafficking ring, but eventually, the assistant state attorney admitted: “No one is being charged with human trafficking. There is no human trafficking that arises out of this investigation.”

It was hard to see any grave danger from an elderly widowers’ handing over cash for a couple of minutes’ worth of manual stimulation. Prohibition doesn’t eliminate the harms generally associated with prostitution, such as violence, human trafficking and disease. On the contrary, it fosters them by driving the business underground.

We have long since embraced the idea that what adults choose to do for sexual gratification is not the business of the government. One day we may accept that the same is true for whether they pay for it.

Brothel Workers Relieved Bill to Ban Prostitution Failed

Legislation that would have banned legal prostitution in Nevada did not pass in this latest session. At the Mustang Ranch in Storey County, that was cause for celebration.

(Chris Buckley | KTVN.com) – Legislation that would have banned legal prostitution in Nevada did not pass in this latest session. At the Mustang Ranch in Storey County, that was cause for celebration.

“We all cheered for a couple of weeks, we all celebrated immensely,” said Madam Tara Adkins. “It was terrifying for all of our ladies and our staff who have been with us for years; it was very scary for everybody.”

Dennae, who as been a Courtesan there for three years and in the industry for more than a decade, says the Mustang Ranch is the best place she’s ever worked.

“I should have come here years ago,” she said. “I would be heartbroken if it closed; it’s so much more than just sex here, we’re caregivers. We touch so many lives and I love this job.”

Suzette Cole, CEO, Moonlite Bunny Ranch

“Prostitution is the oldest profession and will not go away.  Nevada has been doing it right since 1971 when we took it out of the criminal’s hands and put it into a highly-regulated industry.  As an added benefit, there has never been a case of HIV/AIDS in the history of legal brothels here…and you can’t say that about any other profession in the United States.”

John Stossel, Syndicated Columnist

“We don’t have to cheer for prostitution, or think it’s nice, to keep government out of it and let participants make up their own minds.  It’s wrong to ban sex workers’ options just to make ourselves feel better.”

Steve Chapman, Syndicated Columnist

“Prohibition doesn’t eliminate the harms generally associated with prostitution, such as violence, human trafficking and disease. On the contrary, it fosters them by driving the business underground.”

Christina Parreira, UNLV Researcher/Sex Worker

“Sex work is my CHOICE.  I’d like to continue to have the opportunity to make that choice legally.  We don’t need protection. We’re consenting, adult women.”

Washington, DC Councilman David Grosso

“We need to stop arresting people for things that are not really criminal acts. We should arrest someone for assault…but when it’s two adults engaging in a consensual sex act, I don’t see why that should be an arrestable offense”

New York Assemblyman Richard Gottfried

“Trying to stop sex work between consenting adults should not be the business of the criminal justice system.”

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker

“Yes, sex work should be decriminalized.  As a general matter, I don’t believe that we should be criminalizing activity between consenting adults, and especially when doing so causes even more harm for those involved.”

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders

“I think the idea of legalizing prostitution is something that should be considered…(and) certainly needs to be discussed.”

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris

“When you’re talking about consenting adults, I think that, yes, we should really consider that we can’t criminalize consensual behavior, as long as no one is being harmed. … We should not be criminalizing women who are engaged in consensual opportunities for employment.”

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren

“I believe humans should have autonomy over their own bodies and they get to make their own decisions. … I am open to decriminalizing sex work. Sex workers, like all workers, deserve autonomy and are particularly vulnerable to physical and financial abuse.”

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

“If a consenting adult wants to engage in sex work, that is their right, and it should not be a crime. All people should have autonomy over their bodies and their labor.”

Gov. John Hickenlooper

“Legalizing prostitution and regulating it, so there are norms and protections and we understand more clearly how people are being treated and make sure we prevent abuse, I think it should be really looked at.”

Mike Gravel, former Alaska Senator

“Sex workers are workers, and they deserve the dignity and respect that every worker deserves. For too long, we’ve denied them that. Sex workers, not politicians, should lead the way in crafting sex work policy.”

Prof. Ronald Weitzer, George Washington University:

“Unlike illegal street prostitution in many other places, Nevada’s legal brothels do not disturb public order, create nuisances, or negatively impact local communities in other ways. Instead, they provide needed tax revenue for cash-strapped rural towns.”

Prof. Barbara Brents, UNLV author, “State of Sex”:

“Teams of scholars…have concluded that Nevada’s legal brothels provide a far safer environment for sex workers than the criminalized system in the rest of the United States.”

Prof. Sarah Blithe, UNR author, “Sex and Stigma”:

“Discussions of legal prostitution are rife with misinformation.  Academic work and popular press publications alike often conflate legal prostitution in the United States with illegal prostitution.”

Lee Herz Dixon:

“Do I think eradicating legal prostitution from all Nevada counties will erase the practice of the oldest profession in the state, or break the nexus of drugs, crime, and exploitation of the vulnerable? I do not.”

Journalist Michael Cernovich:

“It’s empirically proven that criminalizing sex work allows children to be sex trafficked more readily as they are afraid to turn to authorities and wonder if they will be arrested.”

Enrique Carmona:

“We need to put aside moralistic prejudices, whether based on religion or an idealistic form of feminism, and figure out what is in the best interests of the sex workers and public interest as well.”

Ruby Rae, professional courtesan

“In the brothels, we have the choice, always, to say which clients we will say yes and no to. We have staff that would never let a man hurt us, and we have a clientele that do not come here to hurt us.”

Kiki Lover, professional courtesan:

“We are human beings who chose to do sex work on our own free will. We get treated with respect and like family at the brothels. It’s a job just like any other job. We sell a service that all humans need.”

Paris Envy, professional courtesan:

“I’m not ‘exploited.’ I’m not ‘trafficked.’ I’m not ‘brainwashed.’ I don’t need to be ‘saved.’ I’ve freely chosen this line of work, which is a legal, private transaction between consenting adults.”

Alice Little, professional courtesan:

“It’s ILLEGAL sex work that exploits children. It’s ILLEGAL sex work that traffics. It’s ILLEGAL sex work that sees women exploited and abused by pimps.”

Jim Shedd, Nevadan

“Prostitution should be licensed, regulated, taxed like any other service industry.  There are many single or widowed men and women who should be able to take advantage of such services provided by consenting adults for consenting adults. Let’s act to at least reduce illegal sex trafficking and other sex crimes by creating safe and legal outlets for paying adults who wish to use them.”

Paul Bourassa, brothel customer:

“Some people are just never given a chance in the dating scene, so brothels offer those of us with no experience a chance to learn what it’s like to be on a date.”

Lewis Dawkins, brothel customer:

“It’s not always about sex. Little compliments and encouragements offered by the ladies help build my self-confidence. It’s a business, yes. But the ladies care personally about their clients. That means a lot.”

Brett Caton, brothel customer:

“I think brothels provide an important function in society. Legal ones give a safe outlet to their customers and for some men it is the only way they get so much as a hug.”
