TES Fetish Workers Group – Censorship & Sexuality: Kink, LGBTQIA Rights, Sex Work, & YOU!

Over the last year, many changes in the legal landscape that affect members of sexual minorities have occurred. While individual laws and policies appear to affect only one community, such as sex workers, the LGBTQIA community, or the kink community, they are each only pieces of a bigger picture that affects EVERYONE – including YOU.

This is a time for alternative sexuality communities to come together and support each other. Come hear from members of these different communities about their experiences, what is being done to protect the rights of sexual minorities, how you might be affected, and what you can do to help.
