A measure that asks Los Angeles County voters if adult film stars should be forced to wear a condom during filming has received enough signatures to appear on the ballot in November, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) launched the proposed law. The local organization’s president, Michael Weinstein, says they collected 371,000 signatures in five months, which surpasses the required amount of 232,000 signatures, Medical Daily noted. AIDS activists and supporters of the measure say that porn stars are at a high risk of contracting HIV and other STDs.
"The lives of these performers are not disposable," Weinstein said Wednesday. "This industry is sending out the wrong message about safer sex." Full story here!
