Lawmakers in North Carolina signed a ridiculous bill into law late last month that essentially “eliminates LGBT protections on a local level” and makes it illegal for transgender students to use a public restroom that “links to the gender they identify with.”
Thankfully, those with fully functioning brains have led a backlash against the legislation, including Deutsche Bank and Bruce Springsteen, who canceled a sold-out show in Greensboro last week because of it.
Well, now the porn website XHamster has joined in the fight by denying access to any IP addresses coming from the state, according to Perez Hilton.
The company’s statement made exclusively to Perez Hilton was almost as impressive as their actions:
“We are appalled by the recent events that have transpired in North Carolina. We have spent the last 50 years fighting for equality for everyone and these laws are discriminatory which XHamster.com does not tolerate. As of today, access to XHamster.com is blacked out in the state of North Carolina until further notice. Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them.”
No response from the people of North Carolina yet, but we’re sure it’s going to look something like this:
“Damn. It looks like we’ll have to use PornHub instead.”
