On July 27th Violet Blue received an email from Facebook informing her that the 3,000+ member sex-positive women's empowerment community she founded on her "Our Porn, Ourselves" page had been deleted. I was a member of that community, which was meticulously maintained in accordance with Facebook's published Terms of Use by Violet, and I'm a woman who watches porn.
I'm appalled by what appears to be Facebook's targeted censorship. It's also very disturbing that the anti-porn zealots like "Porn Harms", who have been harassing both Violet personally and members of the community, have claimed the community's deletion as a victory for their side and are offering thanks to Facebook.

Here at CarnalNation we LOOOOVE Alexander Skarsgård—especially as Vampire Eric on HBO's True Blood, now in its third season. Here's a clip from his affecting performance as a troubled transvestite in the Swedish road movie Kill Your Darlings. It contains incredibly hot footage of him shaving his legs and chest, wearing nothing but tighty-whities—but be warned, it's also poignant and shocking and sad.

I sort of despaired for burlesque in London, to be honest. I'm spoiled rotten in San Francisco, with the Living Dead Girlz and the Hubba Hubba Revue, with such themes as Aslyum, Summer Camp, O Canada!, and the vaguely hillbilly Creepshow Peepshow, where the lovely zombie Girlz coated me in fake blood for the first time. There was even a Jolly Old England one. Hubba Hubba always had amazing, weird, often politically tinted performances that were sexy, entertaining and insanely creative.
Then I came to London, and it was a lot of tits and glitter, fans and feathers, yawn. Yes, the girls were pretty, yes, they took off their clothes gracefully and well, but... it was boring. There was no mad mess like when my friend P-Raw squirted sillystring all over the stage and threw around...

Apparently Hitler thought so. In this interview with The Daily Show's Jason Jones, Scott Lively, president of Defend the Family, reveals the real reason that the United States can't afford to let Lt. Dan Choi or any other gays serve in the military: because if you let homos have guns, next thing you know, they're marching Jews and gypsies into gas chambers and ovens.

I met Adrian Buckmaster at a One Leg Up party. He and his friend stood out in a room full of bland corporate types. He was wearing a floor-length linen skirt and an interesting mustache; his friend was performing gravity-defying stunts on the stripper pole. I decided I had to introduce myself and invite him to attend one of my sexy soirees. That was years ago. Since then Adrian has become a fixture at all of Manhattan's most exclusive sextravaganzas, photographing bondage enthusiasts, erotic entertainers and other nocturnal denizens. His work is not, however, limited to nightlife. He has mastered the art of portraiture, captured waifish fashion models in flowing gowns, frozen performers in moments of reflection. He creates a complete mise-en-scène, painting elaborate backdrops, arranging props, and, eventually, utilizes computer wizardry, if necessary, to provide wings or additional appendages. I spoke with him recently about how he began his career and how he balances his passions with his paychecks.

In the video report below, The Nation's Laura Flanders speaks to Gabrielle Prisco, Director of the Juvenile Justice Project at the Correctional Association of New York and journalist Daniel Redman about the disproportionate amount of violence and abuse that LGBT youth face in the nation's correctional systems. According to Redman, not only are LGBT teens incarcerated in disproportionate numbers, but they are 12 times more likely to be sexually assaulted while in prison. Even worse, prison staff are often complicit: "You have a situation where staff either look the other way or target the youth themselves for brutal treatment." Prisco also speaks about the disprortionate amount of time that queer youth spend in isolation "for their own protection," while in detention facilities.
