A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking a court order to compel county public health officials to require condom use on porn sets or take other reasonable steps to stem the spread of disease.
Judge David P. Yaffe rejected the petition, noting that the county has broad discretion in how it oversees public health.
And yet, California mandates that motorcycle riders wear helmets for their own safety. Whereas I suppose the argument can be made that forcing a porn actor to wear a condom "stifles" his free speech in creating "art" (which could be airbrushed out easily), I would rather the State get out of the nanny business all together.
BTW, I support only AIDS research for children. Other than rape cases - and I might even give a pass to prostitutes in Third World countries who ply their trade for survival - with those happy fellows in West Hollywood and Castro Street it is 100% preventable.
