An age verification bill in Kansas that is the most extreme in the country has passed both House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill will make sites with more than 25 percent adult content liable to heavy fines if they don’t verify that visitors are over the age of 18. It also calls being gay “sexual conduct,” which critics say could set up the state for more censorship of LGBT+ citizens.

    Big “if” in my opinion but I’m not a US citizen so I can’t really say I’m sure about that.

    The bill is a load of shit either way, the world is changing, you can’t shield minors from porn.

      I am a US citizen. I can assure you it’ll be abused because similar bills already have been.

      It’s not an ‘if’, it’s an absolute guarentee. This isn’t a new play, this has been their gameplan every single time they do these sort of things.

        So according to the comments here, the entire American judicial system is homophobic.

        I’m glad I’m not American, how awful.

          yes, it’s a known problem that one party has managed to ‘stack’ the entire judicial system with their judges.
