If it has to do with sex or sexual expression, it’s under attack!

Censorship in the United States is at unprecedented levels, despite the fact that the First Amendment protects our rights to freedom of speech and expression. Teachers are losing their jobs for talking about reproductive care, gender (how we see ourselves), and sexual orientation (who we are physically, emotionally and/or romantically attracted to). Books are being pulled off library shelves for containing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters. Social media platforms are removing the accounts of sex positive creators, educators and therapists. Legislators are introducing broad and sweeping legislation to limit sexual expression online.

“The Censoring of Sexual Freedom” is a monthly community virtual gathering featuring conversations with free speech experts and activists discussing the threats of censorship to our Democracy and to our daily lives, and to discover actions we can take to stop the attacks.
