Alabama Sex Toy Ban

I was going to refrain from this topic, but it's been everywhere (here, here, here).

Personally, I think that what goes on behind closed door between consenting adults is none of the government's business. Apparently, the 11th Circuit court does not share my opinion. The reasoning behind this law being upheld when laws against particular sexual behaviors have been smacked down is that this law is "forbidding public, commercial activity" whereas the other decision granted "the right to engage in sexually protected acts within a zone of privacy".

Anyway, many of the sites I've seen seem to think that because there actually is a ban that you cannot purchase such items in Alabama. That's simply not true. The law isn't really enforced, at least in the Birmingham area. There seems to be a loophole in the law hat allows for "novelty items". So, when you go to an "adult store" (and there are several in the Birmingham area), all the outlawed items are labelled "For Novelty Use Only".

From reading the WAFF article, it seems the state agreed not to enforce the law until the court cases were closed (WAFF is a TV station in Northern Alabama). I don't see the law being enforced any time soon. The plaintiffs, mostly adult store owners, aren't going to back down.

Don't let Alabama encourage sexual repression!!!
Please read the petition regarding the ban of selling sex toys!

http://www.gopetition.com/online/14546.html

Please pass this bulletin to all of your friends and encourage everyone you know to sign it! This really upsets me, especially when I think about all the other things in the world going on that really need our governments attenion like the WAR, health care, and violence and crime just to name a few things.

Who cares what CONSENTING ADULTS do in their own bedroom? Everyone should be allowed to enjoy their bodies in whatever shape or form they choose as long as they aren't harming anyone else!

Please sign and pass on! Thank you!
