Magna Carta for Sex Work

BELIEVING that LIBERTY was to have been the sweetest fruit of INDEPENDENCE;

DESPONDENT because adults are daily being arrested, fined, and jailed by reason of engaging in commercial sex with other consenting adults, or facilitating such behavior;

ASSERTING that commercial sex is demeaning only when an intolerant and puritanical society defines it to be so, and makes it a crime;

REJOICING that homosexuality, which was once considered a perversion and a crime, today is generally viewed with tolerance and respect; and that those who, in the past, oppressed homosexuals are now remembered with scorn; and those who today oppress them are considered malevolent;

UNDERSTANDING that there is a legitimate state interest in reducing the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, and that this can be better accomplished by the regulation of commercial sex than by its proscription;

EMBOLDENED by the belief that the toleration of prostitution is the cause of LIBERTY, that it is the cause of HAPPINESS, and that it is a cause with SEX APPEAL;

BE IT RESOLVED therefore that every June 9th (6/9) , is declared to be, and henceforth shall be observed as, END SEXUAL OPPRESSION DAY; and that

CONSEQUENTLY, those who understand this to be so, and are in accord with this sentiment, shall, on every June 9th, petition their local government to

Cease and Desist

in the persecution of adults for engaging in commercial sexual activity with other consenting adults, or facilitating such activity, until such activity is nowhere a crime in The United States of America.
